Rent vans in Sydney

To rent a car on Turo in Australia, you must create a Turo account, have a valid driver’s license, get approved to drive on Turo, and be 21 years old or older.

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

Near Sydney Airport: Picking up your van near Sydney Airport makes arriving and getting moving feel significantly less painful. You can avoid the airport rental counter shuffle, collect your vehicle nearby, and head straight toward your accommodation or next stop without unnecessary delays. This is particularly handy if you’re travelling with a group.

Sydney CBD: Van hire in the Sydney CBD is ideal if you’re already staying centrally or planning to move around the city before heading elsewhere. It’s convenient for small business use, moving apartments, or group trips that start right in the middle of the action. Just keep an eye on parking and peak traffic times because Sydney traffic occasionally enjoys testing everyone’s patience equally.

North Sydney: North Sydney offers an easy pickup location if you’re heading north out of the city or staying around the harbour suburbs. It’s particularly convenient for longer road trips, family travel, or transporting larger items without needing to navigate the busiest parts of the CBD first. A smoother start all around.

- Moving house van rental: Moving house in Sydney is already enough of a logistical event without trying to squeeze everything into multiple cars. A moving van gives you the space to transport furniture, boxes, and everything else in far fewer trips. Less time driving back and forth, more time wondering why you own three separate drawers full of cables.

- Group travel van rental: Travelling with friends or family becomes much easier when everyone fits into one vehicle comfortably. Passenger vans are ideal for airport runs, weekend escapes, or longer road trips around New South Wales. It also dramatically reduces the number of “where are you parked?” text messages.

- Small business and delivery van rental: For business owners, event setups, or larger deliveries, van hire offers flexible transport without committing to a permanent fleet vehicle. Cargo vans provide practical storage space while remaining manageable to drive around the city. A hassle-free option when business needs suddenly become bigger than your boot space.

You must have a valid, full, active, permanent licence to book a car in Australia. A valid licence is one that’s not expired, suspended, or revoked. 

If you have a licence issued by a country outside of Australia, Turo requires you to have a valid permanent licence issued by your home country. If your home country's licence is not written in English, you must also have an International Driving Permit or an official English translation of your home country's licence.

The minimum age to rent a vehicle on Turo in Australia 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.

You don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. When renting 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. Legal liability protection protects against damage to other people’s property and death or bodily injury (where the legal liability is not covered or capable of being covered by any statutory or compulsory scheme) as a result of an accident involving the vehicle. All protection is provided by Turo Travels Mutual.*

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or 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.

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests 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 license 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.
