Rent cars near Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport

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. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorised 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 with no extra charges.

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.

Yes, there is a wide variety of cars available on Turo at locations near airports across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Skip the rental car counter at Sydney International Airport and have your car delivered to you at the airport. If you land at the airport and have extra time before your scheduled check-in time, take a taxi, Uber, Lyft, or shuttle service to the address of your hotel or vacation rental, and have your car delivered to you to save time and hassle.

Sydney Airport, aka Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, is situated unusually close to the CBD. While this means some suburbs sit under a noisy flight path and planes can’t ground during certain hours overnight, it’s also very convenient for travelling to and from both the domestic and international terminals.

You can jump into a car or onto a train from the arrivals hall and arrive in Sydney CBD or the surrounding suburbs in about 20 minutes. It’s also well situated for heading beyond the city limits if you’re keen to start your holiday with a road trip.

Yes, you can take a flight from Sydney domestic terminal to Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in just over four hours. If you’re keen on a cross-country drive, you can also reach this pristine spot via car by booking a place for your vehicle on the ferry. Be aware of driver fatigue and toll roads on this 17-hour journey from Sydney over the border into South Australia.

The smaller urban centres of Wollongong and Newcastle flank Sydney to the south and north respectively, and can each be reached within a few hours’ drive. Remember: Australia is a massive country, and it would take days (literally 48 hours straight) to drive to somewhere like Perth, the capital city of Western Australia that sits on the opposite side of the continent.

You can drive to the bustling tourist and surfing hotspot Manly Beach in around 30 minutes from the Sydney CBD. The city’s ferry routes present dazzling options as alternative transport methods, and there’s a regular route to Manly from Circular Quay running every 15 minutes (the old ferry takes about 30 minutes on the waves and the fast ferry gets you there in 20 minutes).
