Top tips for hiring a car in Wagga Wagga

Planning to visit The Riverina? Here’s how to maximise your time with a rental car in Wagga Wagga.


Wagga Wagga road rules and driving conditions

Driving in Wagga Wagga is a pleasant experience, with well-maintained roads and major highways connecting you to the rest of regional NSW and the major cities. Highways here are straight and smooth, so it’s worth building in detours to nearby country towns to see the best of The Riverina.

Driving difficulty: 1/5

Road conditions: As a major regional centre, the roads throughout Wagga Wagga tend to be sealed and well-maintained. Many previously unsealed rural roads (such as Dunns Road) have been upgraded and sealed for safe, easy driving. The drive in from Sydney, Canberra or Melbourne is straightforward, mostly along highways like the Hume, Sturt and Olympic.

Key considerations:

1. Wildlife on the roads: Many roads in regional NSW, including around Wagga Wagga, are flanked by national parks and farmland, so animals can enter the road. To reduce the chance of a collision, avoid driving at dusk, dawn and after dark, when animals are most active.

2. Driver fatigue: If you’re driving in from Melbourne or Sydney, share the driving and take a break at least once every two hours to beat fatigue.

3. Speed limits: Keep an eye on the signposted limits, as they change between road types. The same road rules apply in NSW as the rest of the country — drive on the left, and remember the legal blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.05, so never drink and drive.
