The Grounds of Alexandria

Just a short drive from the airport and Mascot's city centre is the vibrant suburb of Alexandria. This once-industrial area has become increasingly popular with plenty of top-notch eateries, boutique shopping and premium fitness centres. Don't miss a dining experience at the Instagrammable eatery, The Grounds of Alexandria, open from breakfast to dinner daily.

Centennial Park

Pack a picnic and hit the road for a day out in nature at Centennial Park in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Expect 189 hectares of lush open space, from sporting fields to cycling tracks and even an equestrian centre.

Coogee Beach

While Bondi Beach usually gets all the attention, Coogee Beach is a stunning protected beach that's even closer to Mascot. Tackle the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk, take a dip in the historic ocean baths and end the day with dinner and drinks at the waterfront Coogee Pavilion.

Top tips for car hire in Mascot


About to hire a car in Mascot? 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 road rules and regulations in Australia. 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.


Mascot's rush hour and busiest roads


Being in close proximity to Sydney airport, Mascot has several busy roads to avoid during peak hours. During peak hours (usually 7 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 7 pm), try to avoid driving along O'Riordan Street, Collins Street, Cowards Street and Bourke Road, as these are some of the most congested roads.

If you're driving to or from Sydney airport, expect Southern Cross Drive and General Holmes Drive to experience significant traffic.


Are there toll roads around Mascot?


There are a number of toll roads connecting Mascot with greater Sydney, including:

  • M5 East
  • WestConnex M8
  • Eastern Distributor
  • Cross City Tunnel
  • Western Distributor M4

When travelling along these roads, your Mascot hire car is fitted with an e-tag that will electronically pay to access these roads.


Parking in Mascot


Along with on-street parking, there is plenty of secure off-street parking available in Mascot. In the city centre, you'll find paid parking at the Mascot Parking Lot (1A High Street) as well as a Wilson Parking Station (19/33 Kent Road).


Petrol stations and EV chargers in Mascot


Expect to find a number of places to refuel in and around Mascot, including these handy petrol stations:

  • BP (1077 Botany Road)
  • Budget Petrol (1004 Botany Road)
  • BP (General Holmes Drive)

If you're driving an electric car, you'll find EV charging stations across Mascot, including the JOLT Charging Station (494 Gardeners Road) and the ChargePoint Charging Station (Corner of Bourke Road and O'Riordan Street).


Do I need to hire a car in Mascot?


You do need to hire a car in Mascot - the easiest and most practical way to explore Sydney and beyond is behind the wheel of your own car.

While Mascot does have a train station, some of the city's best sights and must-see suburbs can take more than double the driving time to reach by public transport (such as Bondi Beach, which can take over an hour to travel to by bus and train). Not to mention, if you have luggage with you, a hire car means that you'll be able to transport everything easily.


Mascot hire car types


Whether you're looking to rent a Hyundai Accent, a Kia Carnival, a Porsche 911 or anything in between, you'll find it on Turo.

  • SUVs
  • Electric cars
  • People movers
  • Ute rentals
  • Minivan rentals
  • Small cars
  • Luxury cars
  • Classic and vintage cars


Car hire pickup locations in Mascot and beyond 


Looking for a specific location to pick up your hire car near Mascot? Whether you are flying into Sydney airport or want to organise custom delivery to your accomodation, you'll find local hosts offering delivery to nearby locations, including:


  • Sydney Airport
  • Sydney CBD
  • Alexandria
  • Rosebery
  • Waterloo
  • Newtown

Prefer to pick up at a custom location? Many hosts throughout Sydney offer custom delivery.

When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s licence and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for every future road trip, business trip, and family holiday!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.

What protection plan options are available on Turo in Mascot?

When booking a car in Australia, you’ll choose between the Premier (if available), Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes varying limits on financial responsibility for damage to a host’s vehicle. All trips include up to $20,000,000 (per event) in legal liability protection.

How can I get unlimited kilometre car hire during my trip from Mascot?

Some hosts offer car hire with unlimited KMs; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts, unless you opt to receive a non-refundable trip discount when you book. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a cancellation fee.

In the rare event a host cancels, you’ll be notified immediately so you can book another car, or we’ll help you find one. Your refund can be temporarily held to expedite rebooking, or the funds can be returned to your bank account — your choice.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced safety measures and cleaning practices to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add any additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests in Australia can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s licence and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How much does it cost to hire a car in Mascot? 

The cost of car hire in Mascot and nearby areas depends on several factors. This includes car type, booking length, extras, and any delivery options selected. For cheap car rental in Mascot, look out for discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.

Can I book a long term car rental in Mascot?

Absolutely. Many hosts offer long term car hire bookings of multiple weeks or months, with the opportunity to secure a discount on bookings of a month or more.

Can you hire a car on your Ps in Mascot? 

No, you can't hire a car on your Ps in Mascot. To hire a car on Turo, you must have a valid full licence - no provisional or conditional licences are accepted.

Do I need to be a certain age to hire a car in Mascot? 

The minimum age to rent a car in Mascot on Turo is 21 years of age, with all drivers under 25 years old being subjected to an extra cost of $15/day (a.k.a the Young Driver Surcharge). Plus, if you're looking to hire certain vehicle classes, you must be 25 or older to book a Deluxe Class vehicle, and 30 or older to book a Super Deluxe Class vehicle.
