People movers and passenger van rental

Worried about having enough space in your vehicle to pack in your passengers, luggage, and more? People movers like the Kia Carnival and Toyota Granvia will do the trick with enough seats to comfortably fit 8 travellers plus baggage at the back.

Campervan hire

With a camping van, you don't have to worry about accommodation as you head out on your next adventure and cruise around with your bedroom at the back. Even your itinerary doesn't have to be set in stone. Simply hop into your vehicle and go or set up camp as you please.

Small, medium and large van rental

Sometimes, a small van will suffice for a short trip with six to eight people. But if you need something a bit larger to move large items like furniture or a large group, you'll find vans of all sizes on Turo.

Jimmy is a great host, communication was on point! Van was clean, easy to drive and I had no problems. They dropped off the van earlier than the drop off time which was great, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I will definitely rent from Jimmy again, especially this van!

Had a great experience renting this Hiace van. Collection and return process was smooth and hassle-free. The van was reliable, clean, and had relatively low mileage, which made the drive comfortable. There were a few old scratches and dents, so I’d recommend taking photos before driving off just for reference, but everything was straightforward and as expected. Overall, a very good rental experience.

The Van was great, held as much people i needed to tour the family & friends. Lots of space at the back storage for luggages. The 2 issue i have was the suspension squeaking at the rear of the Van and AC filter at the front might need to change. Overall it was a great rental for 2 days.

Top tips for renting a van in Sydney


Here are some tips to make your van hire experience an enjoyable and hassle-free one.


Do I need a special licence to drive a van in Sydney?


A standard car licence will allow you to drive vans up to 4.5 tonne Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) that can seat up to 12 adults.


Do I need to be a certain age to hire a van 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.


How much does it cost to hire a van in Sydney?


The cost of hiring a van in Sydney depends on several factors. This includes van type, booking length, extras, and any delivery options selected (for example, some hosts charge a fee if you want to pick up your van from a custom location like your home). Look out for van hire discounts on longer-duration bookings and early bookings.


Popular Sydney van hire models


Not sure which van model to hire? Whether you need it for business purposes, to move house, or for your next road trip, the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Toyota Hiace, and Volkswagen Transporter are just a few of the popular vans on Turo.


Ford Transit


The Ford Transit is a fuel-efficient large van with several possible internal configurations. Depending on your hire, you might see a 12-seater passenger van to a standard cargo van with two or three seats in the front.


Toyota Hiace


This reliable and efficient van is a well-known all-rounder with various internal designs. Use it to transport up to 15 people on your trip or move large items with its generous cargo area.


Volkswagen Transporter


If you're looking for a smaller-sized van, the Volkswagen Transport is a compact choice with a seating capacity of up to 9 people. It can also be used as a cargo van and would be a great choice if you want a more maneuverable vehicle that's still able to move large items.


Van hire pickup locations throughout Sydney 


Skip the traditional rental Sydney van hire companies that require you to pick up your van hire from specific locations. When you hire a van on Turo, choose from various pick-up locations near you or request delivery to your home or wherever is convenient for you.

This includes locations around Sydney CBD, inner west, northern beaches, north shore, eastern suburbs, western Sydney, and more. Sydney van hire suburbs include Haymarket, Artarmon, Bankstown, Blacktown, North Sydney, Parramatta, Randwick, Ryde, Manly, Bondi, Chatswood, Brookvale and more.


Van rental Sydney Airport


Hiring a van with pickup from Sydney Airport? Once you've arrived at Sydney Airport, getting to the car park is easy.

If you've arrived from overseas, you'll need to exit the Terminal 1 arrivals hall and cross over Arrivals Court where you'll find the two P6 and P7 multistory carparks.

Domestic flights, on the other hand, will either land at Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. Assuming you've arrived at Terminal 2, exit the building and cross Keith Smith Ave, walk past the train station and priority pick-up zone. After that, you'll see the P2 car park where you'll most likely pick up your vehicle.

If your flight arrives at Terminal 3, exit the building and cross over Shiers Avenue where you'll see the train station. Walk past it and the priority pick-up zone to meet your Turo host at the P2 car park.
