About to hire a car in Mascot? Here are a few top tips to keep in mind.
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.
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.
There are a number of toll roads connecting Mascot with greater Sydney, including:
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).
Expect to find a number of places to refuel in and around Mascot, including these handy petrol stations:
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.
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.
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:

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.

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.
