Recent reviews
Just booked this unit. we just had a problem because the last renter filled the wrong type of unleaded fuel to the car that made it struggle to accelerate. the host was very responsive though and told us its still safe to drive. smooth transaction and hassle free. will recommend it too.
Host was responsive and accommodating to changes in reservation. Was able to drop off my car early. And drop off instructions were very clear. Would use again!
Great experience overall! The car was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The owner was friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental process very easy. Pick-up and drop-off were smooth and convenient. Would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend!😍😍😍
Easy pick up and drop off. Responsive and kind hosts 😊 Car does the job, slows a bit on steeper hills but otherwise fine. Bluetooth/aux doesn't connect to your phone (as per listing). We just played music off our own speaker. Handy car for our trip out of Sydney. Would rent again! Thank you! 😊
The car was clean and drove well. Pickup and return instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks for a great rental!
The car is gorgeous, new, and fun to drive. We had a small issue come up during the rental, but Marco was incredibly responsive and helpful. He gave us all the right information, contacted roadside assistance himself, and made sure we were looked after. Really appreciated how proactive and accommodating he was throughout the whole experience. Amazing car and host.
The car was really well maintained. The host was very easy to deal with and communicated well. Pick up and drop location was easy to find and would definitely recommend to book with them
I’ve rented many times off of Sixt and Enterprise etc so was quite skeptical of the competitive price off an independent rental car company. It turned out that not only was the Toyota Camry a good deal but also an extremely smooth process from start to finish, other than the slightly longer process of taking photos of the car upon pick up and drop off Alexander and team were far smoother, and communication was much more instant than with a larger commercial company. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and plan to do so in the future, thank you so much!
Great quality service from filippo , car drove amazing , wonderful experience , would definitely rent again , car is well cleaned inside on arrival .
Andy was a great host and the car was perfect for my trip. The app was not available for my phone and I did not have immediate access to my email. Andy went the extra mile and we texted at various times during the journey as Turo sent SMSes requesting my access to the app or the web portal. Andy looked after those requests for me. That level of support was a exceptional and I'd recommend Andy for anyone traveling North from Sydney as I was. A train journey to Chatswood and walk to the car and I was on my way. I wonder if the service could allow two way interaction with the Turo portal by SMS rather than requiring your hosts to intervene ? It would make the system technology agnostic and SMS works for any phone and where mobile coverage can be intermittent (Australia!). SMS is more robust. Perhaps this is an opportunity for a Turo alternative. In my case, the interaction with Andy was almost as a traveling companion as I learned about the Tesla and its features. I can't thank him enough for a great day. Five stars is for Andy.
I hired this car for a week and spent a fair amount of time driving. We had a road trip out to Bathurst and through the blue mountains and the car was a pleasure to drive. It was playful in the mountains and smooth of the freeway. Ben our host made the trip a breeze, he’s easy going and knowledgeable about the car and the area. Overall a 10/10 and I will definitely hire again if we are in Sydney
Everything was perfect. The quality of the car, the friendliness and professionalism of Ben. Could not recommend Ben and his fleet of cars enough.
Bela (and her car!) are both absolutely fantastic! We picked it up and headed straight up to Hunter Valley for a couple of days and enjoyed being literally the only people with a convertible on the road the entire time we had it! Great fun car, runs beautifully and super easy to drive. Will not hesitate to book this car again on our next trip! Thank you Bela and your husband for making everything so smooth and easy!
It was such an amazing experience, best car and best host Marco was very helpful and polite, great service will come back again flr this beast✨
We drove about 600 kms in two days in this car for our trip to Jervis Bay. Host was absolutely fantastic. He was very warm and gave an intro of different features because it was our first time driving a Tesla and some things are different - the indicator stalk is on the left under the steering wheel while the drive mode selector is on the right. We had to google to figure out a few things like how to charge and how to get the charging cable to stay, how to turn on/off the headlights, etc. Range on a full charge is about 300 kms on this car on “Chill” mode. Audio was very good, map is not as good as Google Maps, while NVH levels are quite good. When we turned on the defogger, it made quite a racket inside but turning it off seemed to do the job. But, all in all, pretty happy with the experience. Andy was very responsive and polite. Cheers mate and thanks for lending the car.
Easily one of the best driving experiences I’ve ever had! The car was beautifully maintained, in immaculate condition, and an absolute joy to drive. The power and performance were simply incredible! The weather was perfect, so we had the roof down throughout the entire journey, making the experience even more special. What an amazing feeling! The car also comes equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making navigation completely hassle-free. A special mention to the host, who was extremely welcoming, hospitable, and always quick to respond. The entire experience was smooth and effortless from start to finish. A fantastic car, a wonderful host, and an unforgettable experience!** Highly recommended, and I would absolutely love to do it again!
I have changed trip several times as was unaware of length car was needed for and nothing was ever a bother Host is a pleasure to deal with absolutely love hiring through them as cars are lovely to drive and in good condition will hire through them again in a heart beat.

Top tips for hiring a car in Artarmon
About to hire a car in Artarmon? Here are a few top tips to keep in mind.
Sydney road rules and driving conditions
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.
Artarmon's rush hour and busiest roads
Artarmon's roads can get incredibly congested during peak hours (07:00-10:00 am and 16:00-19:00 pm weekdays). If possible, avoid driving along the Pacific Highway and Lane Cove Tunnel as these tend to be the suburb's busiest roads.
Are there toll roads around Artarmon?
There are a number of toll roads that cut through Artarmon, including the M2 Hills Motorway (a 21km toll road connecting the Lane Cove Tunnel with the Westlink M7 toll road). Make sure that your rental car is fitted out with an e-tag prior to departure, as this is the only way to pay for the toll roads during your travels.
Plus, you may travel through the Lane Cove Tunnel (another toll road) as well as the NorthConnex tunnel (connecting the M1 at Wahroonga to the M2 at West Pennant Hills).
Parking in Artarmon
In Artarmon, there are plenty of curbside parking spots available on the suburb's residential streets. There is also a car park located next to Artarmon train station, a large car park for customers at Bunnings Warehouse and free parking for two hours at Westfield Chatswood.

Along the Pacific Highway, you'll find a number of 24/7 petrol stations near Artarmon, including the 7-Eleven (477 Pacific Highway), bp (422 Pacific Highway) and a Shell Petrol station just a short drive away in Lane Cove.
If you opt for a hybrid or electric hire car, head to the public electric charging station at 39 Herbert Street or the Exploren Charging Station (8 Cleg Street, Artarmon).
Do I need to hire a car in Artarmon?
While Artarmon is located on the T1 North Shore line and serviced regularly by trains, these carriages can get extremely congested (especially during weekday peak hours).
