Top tips for hiring a car in Wagga Wagga
Planning to visit The Riverina? Here's how to maximise your time with a hire 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 major cities. While driving along highways is straight and smooth, the scenery can become a little repetitive so it's worth building in detours to nearby country towns to see the best of The Riverina region.
- Driving difficulty: 1/5
- Road conditions: As a major regional town, the roads throughout Wagga Wagga tend to be sealed and well-maintained. Many previously rural unsealed roads (such as Dunns Road) have now been upgraded and sealed for safe, easy driving. Plus, driving to Wagga Wagga from Sydney, Canberra, or Melbourne is easy, with the majority of the drive along highways (like the Hume, Sturt and Olympic Highways).
- Key considerations:
1. Wildlife on the roads: Many roads in regional NSW (including Wagga Wagga) are flanked by national parks and farmland, which means animals and wildlife can enter the road. To reduce the chance of collisions, avoid driving at dusk, dawn and after dark (as this is when animals are most active).
2. Driver fatigue: If you're driving to Wagga Wagga from Melbourne or Sydney, share the drive and take breaks at least once every two hours to beat fatigue.
3. Speeding: The Hume Highway and many highways surrounding Wagga Wagga are frequented by traffic and highway patrol officers, with tough penalties in place for drivers found to be driving over the speed limit.
The same road rules apply in NSW as in the rest of the country, meaning you must drive on the left. Observe speed limits diligently, as speeds can change between road types, so keep an eye out for the signposts with speed limits on the side of the roads. Remember, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05, so never drink and drive.
Are there toll roads in Wagga Wagga?
No, there are no tolls in Wagga Wagga. In NSW, you'll find eight toll roads throughout Sydney, including the Cross City Tunnel, Eastern Distributor and WestConnex M8.
