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

The cost of a Sydney rental car can vary greatly, depending on what kind of vehicle you’re looking for, when you’d like to pick it up, and how long you’d like to rent it for. You’ll also need to consider whether you’d like to upgrade your standard protection to a higher level, and if you’ll need optional extras such as a baby seat or GPS unit.

That said, for a very rough idea of the cost of a Sydney car hire, you can expect to pay $80-$120 per day for a standard compact vehicle, such as a Toyota Corolla or a Toyota Yaris. Cars from our electric vehicle and SUV fleet typically cost a little more, usually around the $120-$160 per day range, again depending on the model.

Larger vehicles, premium 4WDs, and luxury Sydney car rental options can cost $200 per day or more.

For help securing the best deal, check out SIXT's exclusive offers. It's also always worth considering hiring an electric car to save on fuel costs in the long run.

Where to book & pickup Sydney hire cars

There are numerous SIXT locations where you can book and pick up your Sydney car rental. These are dotted around the city, ensuring you'll never have to drive too far to pick up or drop off your vehicle.

These are the four Sydney car hire SIXT locations:

Sydney CBD Our Sydney Domain office is the closest to the CBD, located in the Domain Car Park on Sir John Young Crescent.

Alexandria The SIXT Alexandria office is between Sydney Airport and the CBD. It is less than 10 minutes by foot to the Mascot Train Station on the corner of Bourke and Gardeners Roads.

Artarmon Our Artarmon office is located north of Sydney, close to the junction between the M1 Highway and Pacific Highway. We’re also not far from the North Shore Private Hospital, and a 13-minute walk from the Artarmon Train Station.

Sydney Airport Looking for a Sydney car hire as soon as you land? You’ll find SIXT in all three terminal buildings of the Sydney Airport, ready for you to pick up your rental and go.

What is the most popular hire car in Sydney?

The most popular Sydney car hire is the classic Toyota Corolla, a zippy compact car ideal for getting around the city.

Of all the Sydney car rental options available, the Corolla is a favourite for many reasons. Not only is it one of our most affordable options, it will also keep your petrol costs at a minimum thanks to its excellent fuel efficiency. It has plenty of space for your luggage and work gear, and is an automatic for easy driving, which is especially helpful if you're new to the city.

SUVs are also a popular option in Sydney, particulalry if you are heading out on a road trip, visiting or travelling with the family. These smooth, sleek and convenient vehicles have got you covered for all your plans.

Naturally, Sydney also recieves a lot of domestic and international business travellers. SIXT are suppliers of luxury car hires in Sydney, including Model 3 Tesla EV Hires.

After hours pick up & drop offs

You can pick up and drop off your Sydney car rental after hours at any of our locations around the city. However, after hours pick-ups and drop-offs are all completed on a case-by-case basis, so you’ll need to call your rental location to discuss exactly what you need so the office manager can make arrangements.

Fortunately, many of our locations for Sydney car hire have opening hours that are designed to meet demand. For example, the Sydney Airport location is open every day of the week from early in the morning until late at night, and our Alexandria location is open throughout the week and during the mornings on Saturday and Sunday, so hopefully you can avoid needing to organise an after-hours rental or drop-off.

I can highly recommend this company! We are from Finland and and we were on a holiday in Australia and wanted to drive from Sydney to Sunshine Coast, and then back to Sydney in 10 days. The vehicle was perfect and the prize was very affordable. The staff was so friendly and helpful, they even recommended a few places to visit on our road trip and added those places on the cars navigation system. They really cared for our safety and during our holiday they contacted us a couple of times on the phone just to make sure we were ok and having a good time. And we really had a lovely holiday and they made this whole experience so easy breezy. Thank you so much for your excellent service!
