Top tips for hiring a car in Gladesville
About to hire a car in Gladesville? Here are a few top tips to keep in mind.
Sydney road rules and driving conditions
Before hitting the road in Sydney, familiarise yourself with Australian road rules and regulations. Remember that Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road, seatbelts must be worn at all times and pay attention to speed limits and other road signs to ensure a safe and enjoyable driving experience.
If you're driving in regional areas, be aware that animals and wildlife can wander onto the roads. Be sure to drive to the speed limit and do not swerve suddenly, as this can cause cars to roll off the road. Plus, full-license drivers in NSW have a legal BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) limit of under 0.05.
Gladesville's rush hour and busiest roads
One of the busiest roads drivers will need to navigate in Gladesville is Victoria Road. This is one of the longest stretches of roads in Sydney, connecting Parramatta with Rozelle.
Plus, recent changes to the Rozelle interchange have increased congestion with travel time for CBD-bound traffic, with Victoria Road and Gladesville Bridge proving peak congestion spots. Our tip? Try to avoid driving along these peak roads on weekdays from 6 am to 10 am and between 4 pm to 7 pm.
Are there toll roads around Gladesville?
While there are no toll roads directly in Gladesville, you'll likely drive along toll roads and tunnels if you plan to venture across greater Sydney (such as the WestConnex M4, Rozelle Interchange and Harbour Tunnel). Make sure your hire car is fitted with an e-tag prior to departure for a smooth driving experience along toll roads.
Parking in Gladesville
There are many on-street and off-street parking options across Gladesville. For secure off-street parking, head to the John Wilson Car Park (Pittwater Road), Peel Park Carpark (81 Morrison Road) and Riverglade Reserve Parking (38 Manning Road).
Petrol stations and EV chargers in Gladesville
While there are limited spots to refuel in Gladesville itself, the surrounding suburbs feature plenty of petrol stations, including:
Shell (Hunters Hill)
Metro Petroleum (Rude)
BP (Putney)
Plus, there are several nearby electric vehicle charging stations, including the Evie Charging Station at North Ryde and Exploren Charging Station at North Ryde.
Do I need to hire a car in Gladesville?
While Gladesville NSW does have a bus service, sticking to public transport can slow down your travel significantly and limit the number of places you can visit across Sydney.
Take this example: While driving from Gladesville to Bondi takes just 25 minutes, using public transport will take over an hour and require at least two forms of transport.
But with a hire car in Gladesville, you can explore the suburb and greater NSW at your own pace, with the flexibility to visit lesser-known spots and hidden gems across the state.
