Recent reviews
Carma definitely restored my faith in Tullamarine car rental companies. Hannah was super friendly. Pick and drop off was a breeze. Car got 700kms on one tank. No complaints at all. Thanks team!
I will break my car rental experience (November, 2025) into 3 parts: Turo, car provider and vehicle. Turo. First time to use this app. Overall, simple and intuitive to use. It is a good option when compared to the traditional car rental companies. It was really nice not having to wait at the service rental counter. Car provider. Once you finish with the Turo process, you finalize all the details with the car owner. Daniel was exceptional to work with. He was timely and thorough with his responses to all my inquiries. Our flight arrived earlier than scheduled. I contacted Daniel and he had the car immediately available for my use. He was honest and trustworthy. At the end of the trip, I identified what I thought was a new chip in the paint. He reported it was present before the rental and not an issue. There is comfort in knowing there was no hidden agenda. Vehicle, Toyota Corolla, 2015. Don't let the age or size of the car deter you. The car was clean, dependable and satisfied all of my needs for 2 people. Hawaii may be dramatic with its natural wonders, but it is stingy with the parking spaces and roads (think road to Hana and Haleakala Volcano). We were happy to be driving this car instead of the SUVs and Jeeps that populated the parking lots and narrow, twisting roads. Overall, I would recommend Turo and HIGHLY recommend Daniel and his Toyota Corolla for your car rental needs in Maui.
Everything about this trip and this car rental was amazing. It was very easy to pick up the car. The car was very clean and have a full tank of gas. I would absolutely rent a car with turtle again.
Great car rental service with wonderful customer service! Me and my wife got a nice camaro ss , we drove around the island with the top down and had an amazing time. The best customer service ever, got some tips to make our trip easier. Definitely will rent a car for next vacation with them.
David was communicative, pickup and drop off was easy with clear instructions, car drove well, overall very satisfied with our experience. Great cost friendly alternative to bigger car rental companies with a lot more flexibility, but come with the right expectations (i.e. don't expect a squeaky clean car)
Wow. Just wow. If you’re planning to rent a car while in Oahu, this Ford Mustang convertible is absolutely the way to do it. There’s nothing like dropping the top and cruising along the island coastlines with the Hawaiian sun and ocean views around you. It honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The car itself was spotless, fun to drive, and perfect for exploring the island. But what really made the experience exceptional was Gabriel. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and he went out of his way to make everything easy and stress-free for our family. If you’re considering renting a vehicle in Oahu, do yourself a favor and rent from Gabriel. You won’t regret it!
Everything was perfect!!! Thank you so much to Jensen for a great car rental experience. He was super detailed with pickup and drop-off instructions. He even helped us find an available car when our trip dates changed and the original car wasn’t available. AND he was flexible on our pickup/drop-off times if we needed. Another awesome, hassle-free Turo experience! Mahalo Jensen!
This trip was amazing because of our car rental. It was super clean and drove really well. Great on gas. The host was also very attentive and nice :) 10/10 recommend.
Amazing experience with both the car and the host!The vehicle was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described. Everything worked perfectly, and the car made the trip even more enjoyable. The host was very friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole rental process. Communication was easy, pickup and drop-off were smooth, and overall everything felt professional and stress-free. Highly recommend renting from this host — definitely would book again!
Pick up was easy, car was very tidy, car was well maintained. Best car rental so far 🫡
Great service. Car was perfect. So much easier than dealing with rental cars
Perfect car for a quick trip to Oahu. With gas prices on the rise it was a perfect car for cruising around the island. Definitely will rent again.
I enjoyed using this car for my solo trip to Brisbane and back. Easy to use. Has built in navigation and Bluetooth to connect my phone (for music). Host was easy to deal with. Responded promptly. Price also good.
Absolutely amazing experience renting this Mustang through Turo! The car was clean, well-maintained, and an absolute blast to drive. Everything about the rental process was smooth and easy from start to finish. The owner was incredibly friendly, responsive, and made the whole experience stress-free. You can tell they really care about both the vehicle and their guests. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend this Mustang to anyone looking for a fun and reliable ride!
Car quality was awesome. Comfortable and spacious and neatly tidy and well taken care of. Car rental was awesome and smooth and easy and comfortable. Thank you so much Zerin! Mahalo. Hope to rent from you again for more trips coming up.
Very happy with my car rental. Vehicle worked great for going around the island. the pickup and drop off process was super easy and smooth and the host very reliable. Would rent again.

Top tips for hiring a car in North Sydney
Not sure about where to park, or if there are any special road rules in North Sydney? Follow these top tips and you'll be driving around like a local.
Sydney road rules and driving conditions
Here are the most important things to note about road rules and driving in Sydney.
Side of the road: Just like the rest of Australia, you'll be driving on the left side of the road in Sydney.
Speed limits: You must adhere to speed limits on all roads and highways at all times. If you're in an area without speed limit signs, the default limit is 50km/h in urban areas and 100km/h for other roads.
BAC limits: The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit for full licence drivers is 0.05% in New South Wales.
Animals on the road: Although it's unlikely that you'll see animals on the roads in Sydney CBD, you might encounter some as you drive out to more rural parts of Australia. If you're in an area with wildlife warning signs, lower your speed and keep an eye out for any movement on the roadside. If you come across an animal slow down carefully and avoid swerving.
Road quality: Roads are sealed within North Sydney and the Sydney metropolitan area. However, if you're heading out to country NSW, you might encounter unpaved gravel or dirt roads, especially on smaller roads leading to natural attractions.
Child seats: All children under 7 years old are required to be seated in the appropriate child restraint for their age when travelling in a vehicle.
North Sydney's rush hour and busiest roads
As North Sydney is very near Sydney's central business district, expect congestion on the roads — especially during the morning and evening rush hour.
Main roads like Miller Street, Pacific Hwy, and the M1 are usually very busy so factor in the extra travel time when moving between destinations.
Are there toll roads around North Sydney?
Yes, there are toll roads around the Sydney metropolitan area.
Parking in North Sydney
You'll find many street parking lots as well as secure parking garages (there are some along Pacific Hwy and Walker Street) in North Sydney.

Petrol stations and EV chargers in North Sydney
There are plenty of petrol stations around St Kilda from different brands, which you can find on Google Maps. There are also several EV chargers in the area.
Do I need to hire a car in North Sydney?
It's best to hire a car to get around North Sydney if you would like to have the freedom to plan your own itinerary instead of going on a tour, don't want to rely on public transport, or want to travel outside of Sydney to areas where public transport might not be so accessible.
Car hire pickup locations in North Sydney and beyond
Unlike traditional car rentals that have fixed places to get your car, Turo hosts set their own pick-up locations. This means you'll find many different car hire locations in North Sydney near you, including places like the North Sydney train station and hotels such as Park Hyatt Sydney.
Pick-up locations near North Sydney include Chatswood, Sydney CBD, Sydney Airport, Cremorne, Mosman and more.
