Hiring a car in New South Wales offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility, allowing you to explore the state’s diverse landscapes at your own pace. From the world-renowned Sydney Harbour Bridge to hidden gems like Dorrigo National Park, your hire car will give you easy access to the state’s most stunning attractions. Unlike public transport, a hire car gives you the freedom to travel on your own schedule, allowing you to avoid the crowds and enjoy otherwise impossible moments, like catching the sunrise from the perfect vantage point in Blue Mountains National Park.
Driving in New South Wales is an adventure, with scenic routes that traverse coastlines, valleys, rainforests and outback roads. The driving culture is similar to the rest of Australia, and you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Seat belts are also mandatory for all vehicle occupants. On city streets, speed limits can vary based on the time of day, so always pay close attention to signs, particularly in school zones. Toll roads are common, especially in and around Sydney. It’s best to have an electronic tag or pass if you’ll be driving around these areas, so check with your hire company to ensure they provide one.

Each company has its own policy for young drivers, so it’s worth comparing deals on Cheapflights to find one that works for you. Be sure to compare not just the overall hire price but also their policies, inclusions, exclusions and general terms and conditions.
