Select your car from our impressive fleet of vehicles, from slick Mercedes sedans to ultra modern Teslas for hire. If you’re travelling with colleagues or the family - or just want a little more space - you should check out our range of SUVs and 4X4s available.

Getting Out & About in Canberra

Canberra is the governmental heart of Australia and home to huge, multinational businesses. Many of our customers are regulars, in town on business trips, whether that be a flying visit or a long stay. Driving is certainly the most popular option for transport, but outside of rush hours, traffic is really not a concern.

Hiring a car in Canberra also opens up your options for fun and adventure! A lot of Australians fly into Canberra airport and pick up their car from here as they are then able to head right on to the Snowy Mountains during ski season. Cut out needless hours on the road and hit the slopes with all your gear! If you’re not much of a skier, head out to the mountains in the summer months for camping, bushwalking or cycling. Another standout natural land formation to stop by is the incredible Yarrangobilly Caves. The splendid limestone caves can be explored for hours but only in the day. Alternatively, pack up the car and head to the coast to Batemans Bay or Jervis Bay.

Commercial Vehicle Hire Across Australia!

Sometimes, a car just isn’t going to cut it. SIXT are here for every customer, even when you need something a little bigger. Our commercial vehicles are available nationwide, which means you can hire a van, ute, bus, tipper, 4WD or truck in Canberra.

One of the most popular options from the fleet are the moving trucks for hire. SIXT helps so many people move their furniture and personal belongings every year, we even offer additional extras that include packing tape and boxes. Check out this article to find out which vehicle is your best hire option in Canberra for the big day.

The best thing about hiring a van or any vehicle with SIXT is that you will always enjoy our flexible hire terms. Just need a bus for a one-night trip? No problem. Has your work ute let you down last minute and you don’t know when it will be fixed? No problem - just book with us today.

INSPIRATION: Best Road Trips around Canberra

Of course, as the nation's capital, Canberra is also home to the National Zoo and Aquarium and some of the best galleries and museums. All of these are well worth a visit on a day off, or if you are travelling with a family. If you can get away between meetings, you also might be quite keen to hop in your SIXT rental car in Canberra and head out to one of the fantastic golf courses in the region. Fairbairn and Queanbeyan Golf courses, situated to the east, are both extremely popular. Murrumbidgee to the south is also a great option.

It's worth a try The old thrifty absorbed by a global entity Six T is how to pronounce. Not Sixty (save you the embarrassment) Service and vehicles are great. Pricing moderate.

Good service. Pain in the ass to park though if you are in your own vehicle before renting.

The service from the team members at booking, pick-up and drop off was first class, as was the car, a beautiful BMW 320I. Great colour, great M spec, my kids loved it.
