Cole was the best host! He was super communicative and kind. He was very understanding when we accidentally parked the car in a different parking garage than we picked the car up from, oops! The car was perfect with great gas mileage. Thank you, Cole for a wonderful trip!

* Pick up location: the garage next to the massage/spa salon, petite but spacious enough for easy parking when returning * Host: Matthew was easy to communicate, but texting would be better than Turo app messaging for quick response - I had to change my return time two times but he was understandable. The lady there talks kinda fast but overall smooth and quick check in * Car (Chevrolet Spark): For the budget, it was perfect fit! It was spacious enough for two of us, I'm not sure how the back seat would be like. -There's no phone stand, so bring your own -Bluetooth: I tried resetting and everything but didn't work out in the end -Apple Car play: wasn't able to connect well -A/C: needs a little getting use-to, but worked good -The car felt safe and riding okay even through sudden rain shower and the size was really convenient to street park around tight spaces

The car was easy to find. Just had to take a cab from the airport about 2 minutes from the airport. Not a big deal. The car worked great for the whole trip. No problems. AC was nice and cold. The car was comfortable and drove well for the whole week.

Great car and great experience. Only complaint is that we had to pay for airport parking because the car was dropped off a day before our arrival time. I assumed because I was communicating my arrival time that the car would get dropped off in that time so we wouldn’t have to pay parking. Not a big deal though just something to keep in mind or double check about before hand. The car was perfect for us and Eric was easy to communicate with 👍

Perfect vehicle for our stay on the north coast of Oahu. Very clean and tidy, not to mention fuel efficient . We spent a week driving and enjoying Oahu and I only had to fill up 10 gallons, with premium gas, it only cost me $50 for the entire week! Jason had super clear directions that were very helpful in navigating the in- and out- of the parking garage. Couldn't be happier! Thank you!

4.5/5 The car was clean, drove smoothly, and pickup was easy. The only downside was the drop-off experience. The location didn’t map exactly to what was listed on Google, so I didn’t see the host when I arrived. He had mentioned both parking the car and that he was waiting, which made it a bit confusing. I took a loop to find parking, and he seemed frustrated that I didn’t meet him directly. Overall still a good experience, just a bit of miscommunication at the end.

Dave was a fantastic host — very friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with throughout the whole trip. He responded to any queries promptly and made the process really smooth from start to finish. He also picked me up promptly from the airport which made arriving in Melbourne much easier, and was very flexible when I needed to change the return date at short notice. The original car I hired had unfortunately been damaged by a previous user, but Dave handled the situation brilliantly and gave me a free upgrade for a week while the Mazda was being repaired, which I really appreciated. The Mazda itself was great fun to drive and served me really well during my six weeks in Melbourne. Dave also gave some great local tips and recommendations which were very helpful as a visitor to the area. Overall, a fantastic experience and I’d definitely recommend Dave to others. I’d happily use him again if I’m back in Melbourne!

The pickup location at the airport was very convenient and it was easy to find the car. Both the check-in and check-out processes were smooth and efficient. The car ran great throughout the trip, and the overall experience was very positive. You do have to pay a $24 parking fee only when exiting the lot from picking up the car. I would gladly rent from them again.

Christian was super chill and very responsive, gave us a quick tutorial and we were off. Took the car up to the Blue Mountains for the night so really appreciated the higher mileage allowance. Was great fun to drive, very clean, excellent sound system and tech well ahead of it's time. Plenty of space for luggage in the back. Had a great time. Note, factor in some extra time to find parking when returning the vehicle, the area is quite busy. Thanks Christian!

Top tips for hiring a car in Sydney


Everything you need to know about Sydney car rental


Navigating Sydney Airport


If you're picking up a rental car from Sydney Airport, familiarise yourself with the airport layout and the location of taxi ranks, car parks and public transport options (if you're planning to pick up your car in the CBD). If you're picking up your car from the airport, find out exactly where to meet your host or find your ride. To beat the exhaustion after your long-haul flight, why not take a quick cab to your hotel and arrange for your car to be delivered there instead?


Road rules in Sydney


Before hitting the road in Sydney, familiarise yourself with Australian road rules and regulations. 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.


Sydney rush hour, toll roads and parking


Sydney’s rush hour and busiest roads: Like most cities, the twists and turns between major urban roads like Pitt Street, Military Road, George Street and Parramatta Road experience congestion during peak hours. Make sure to check traffic conditions ahead of time and avoid major transit lanes if possible. Take the Cross City Tunnel to avoid the havoc of pedestrians and cyclists making their way around Darling Harbour, World Square and the broader CBD.

Tolls in Sydney: Sydney has several toll roads, including the M2, M4, M5, and Cross City Tunnel. Many cars come with an electronic toll tag, but it's essential to check if your hire car has a toll tag. If your rental car doesn't have a toll tag, you may need to pay tolls manually online or at designated locations.

Parking in Sydney: You should be able to find parking fairly easily throughout the streets of Sydney, with the exception being in the heart of the popular harbour area, where streetside parking isn’t readily available. A 24-hour Wilson Parking garage is nearby on 2 Macquarie Street with direct access to the Sydney Opera House, along with other CBD parking garages and a direct City Circle train line that runs through the CBD to Circular Quay.

Frequently asked questions about Sydney car hire

Do I need to hire a car for a holiday in Sydney?

The best and most convenient way to get around the Greater Sydney Area is by booking a car on Turo. Sydney’s suburbs stretch out past west Sydney to the Blue Mountains foothills and down to the southern national parks, so it’s worth organising wheels when you visit to explore the unique qualities of each area. Public transport links between these far-flung suburbs will generally provide a slower journey.

When you’re not driving in the inner city, numerous Sydney attractions are walkable from each other, and the ferry network will get you across the harbour while providing some of the best views in town.

Sydney hire car types

Browse a wide selection of rental cars in Sydney for every occasion and budget on Turo. For a family road trip, find a full-size SUV or a mid-sized vehicle that’ll take you comfortably around town. Hire a truck or a larger vehicle for some errands, shopping, or moving. On Turo's car-sharing platform, browse and choose from hundreds of cars, including: 7 seaters and people movers, sports cars, vintage cars, vans, utes, SUVs, convertibles and more.

Electric cars:

Looking for a Sydney car rental that won't cost the earth? Experience this sparkling harbour city behind the wheel of an electric vehicle. From hybrid cars to fully electric rides (such as Polestar 2 and the Tesla Model 3), enjoy the best of cutting-edge EV technologies (with the option to add prepaid EV recharging to make drop-off a breeze). Transport NSW has a handy map that can help you find charging stations across New South Wales, with plenty of EV charging stations in the city centre, North Wollongong and up the coal coast towards Thirroul and beyond.

7 seaters and people mover hire:

Round up the kids or rally your fellow travellers into the perfect large car for your Sydney adventure. From the Kia Carnival to oversized SUVs, you'll find the people mover you need to keep everyone in one car on Turo. Take your extended family on an unforgettable sightseeing tour of Sydney and beyond with our local hosts offering a wide selection of 7-seaters and 8-seaters.

Vans:

Whether you need a spacious passenger van, a cargo van for hauling goods, or a family-friendly minivan, Turo offers a dependable selection of vans to meet your travel requirements. Get around Sydney and greater NSW in a ride that will go the distance, from practical to luxurious and modern vans.

Utes:

Heading to The Royal National Park for an unforgettable day out or an overnight hike? Reserve a spacious ute with ample cargo capacity. Pack your gear in the back (or add on a tent from your host) and venture off the beaten track for the ultimate outdoor adventure in greater Sydney.

Exotic and luxury car hire:

Want to get around Sydney in style? Treat yourself to a ride that's anything but ordinary with a luxury car. Hit the road and explore Sydney in a Jaguar, BMW or Porsche to add a dash of luxury to your trip. With Turo, you'll find a curated range of premium sports cars, convertibles and SUVs (like the Mitsubishi ASX) that will turn heads (for all the right reasons).

Classic Cars:

For true driving enthusiasts, few experiences rival the joy of cruising along Sydney's famous roads in a cherished classic car. Soak in sweeping coastal vistas in a classic MG or vintage sports car, designed to elevate your next Sydney adventure.

Sports Cars:

Turn your dreams into reality and experience the thrill of getting behind the wheel of a sports car. Make your trip to Sydney one to remember with a powerful sports car (available in both automatic and manual), kitted out with the latest driver aids to keep you safely between the lines.

Car hire pickup locations throughout Sydney

Beat the stress of the car rental counter and choose a convenient spot to pick up your car hire in Sydney. From Sydney airport to your CBD hotel or even your vacation rental, get your car delivered to you to save time and hassle. Plus, Turo offers Sydney-wide pickup and delivery locations, meaning you can find your perfect ride beyond the Sydney CBD or airport.

Sydney Airport:

Touched down in Sydney and need a hire car straight away? You can secure a Turo car for pickup at both the Sydney International Airport and Sydney Domestic Airport. Rather than rushing to the rental car desks at the T1 International terminal arrivals, your host can deliver your car to a spot that works for you. Prior to arrival, you can arrange for your car to be parked and ready for collection at the P7 car park (opposite the T1 International Terminal buildings) or a safe, convenient location nearby the airport.

Think you might have extra time before your scheduled check-in time? Plan ahead and get your car delivered to your accommodation instead. Upon arrival, simply book a taxi, Lyft or Uber to your accommodation. That means you can escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and get your Turo ride delivered to a drop-off or pick-up location at your Sydney hotel or the address of your vacation rental instead.

Sydney CBD:

Prefer to pick up your hire car in the heart of the city? From Haymarket to Hyde Park, Sydney's CBD is a must-see. Head straight from the plane to your hotel or holiday rental and pick up your ride at your accommodation or nearby convenient location. Skip the long rental counter queues and get out on the road sooner with flexible pickup times and locations.

New South Wales (NSW):

Exploring all that NSW has to offer? You'll find your perfect car on Turo in some of NSW's most picturesque and serene locations.

Wollongong: this vibrant coastal city is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, and relaxed coastal lifestyle - why not explore it with a 4WD or a sports car?

Port Macquarie: explore this charming coastal town in New South Wales, Australia, renowned for its pristine beaches and outdoor activities. Don't miss a drive to Billabong Zoo's world-renowned koala sanctuary and breeding centre.

Wherever you explore in NSW, you can find your perfect car on Turo, ready and waiting at convenient pick-up locations across the state.

Wedding car hire: Your special day deserves nothing less than a fairy-tale entrance, and Turo can help you make your dream a reality. Choose from a selection of classic, vintage, or luxury cars to make the journey as memorable as the destination.

Should I use public transport in Sydney?

Sydney's morning rush hour and the evening commute create less-than-ideal driving conditions in the CBD. So, if you’re planning on venturing around to Sydney locations during these periods, avoid driving and instead check if your destination is accessible via public transport either by bus, train or ferry.

More things to do and places to see in Sydney

The Legendary Pacific Coast Drive: This route technically takes you across state borders to Brisbane, but it also offers plenty of shorter road trip ideas from Sydney. Look out for dolphins and whales as you cruise for three hours towards Port Stevens, stopping to surf sand dunes and swim at small-town surf spots.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

Vous pouvez annuler et obtenir un remboursement intégral jusqu'à 24 heures avant le début de votre voyage, à moins que vous ne choisissiez de recevoir un rabais pour un voyage non remboursable lors de la réservation. Si vous réservez moins de 24 heures avant le début du voyage, vous disposez d'une heure, après la réservation pour annuler sans frais.

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 car rental company?

No. Unlike car rental 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 the US, Canada, and 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 Sydney?

The cost of hiring a car in Sydney can vary depending on several factors, including the type of car, rental duration, time of year, and the rental company. Luxury cars or larger vehicles may have higher daily rates, and some hosts might charge a delivery fee if you are picking your hire car up from a custom location.

When it comes to car rental deals, many hosts offer discounts on long-term trips. Plus, local hosts can offer early bird discounts if you're booking in advance.

Can you hire a car on your Ps in Sydney?

On Turo, you can't hire a car on your Ps in Australia. To hire a car on Turo, you must have a valid full license - no provisional or conditional licenses are accepted.

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

The minimum age to rent a vehicle 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.

The Board’s discretion will be exercised fairly and consistently, and with all due consideration to the merits and circumstances of each claim and the terms and conditions set out in the Guest PDS.
