How to book the best car rental deals in Sydney

We’re frequently named as the most trusted travel search site out there. We scan hundreds of trusted travel providers and put it all in one place, allowing you to instantly compare car rental rates and then book with no fees. Here's how to get the most out of your Sydney car rental search.

Book now, cancel later

We clearly highlight car and van rental options in Sydney that have free cancellation. So you can bag the best deal with total flexibility to change your plans if you need to.

Rent a car in Sydney for a whole month

Want to rent a car for almost a month? Often, car rental companies in Sydney avoid costly admin in between pickups by renting out cars for longer periods. So see whether monthly car rental is cheaper than the three weeks needed by selecting 30 days.

Compare fuel policies

To save money on filling up the tank as you take off in Sydney, look out for deals with a "full to full" fuel policy, as opposed to a "half-full to full" one.

Skip the lines

We call out keyless pickup when you search for cars with us. No keys to pick up means no lines. Just turn up at your preferred Sydney car rental location, hop in, and hit the road.
