In Sydney you need to drive to the left side of the road as well as abide by the area customs, driving laws and the speed limit of 50km/h. Driving the super highways and freeways your speed limit will increase up to 100 to 110km/h. The slower traffic should travel in the extreme left lane. You will adjust driving to the left side of the road very quickly. Just watch those roundabouts and making appropriate turns! Your rental car agency will supply you with a local area map.
Arriving at the Sydney International Airport you are going to find the Tourism of New South Wales Information Desk. They can help locate one of the many main car hire agencies located at the airport. Many major car hire agencies are available with economy, standard, luxury, 4 wheel drives, and passenger vans. Smaller, area, agencies are available too, called rent-a-wrecks, they are available for a lower cost than the other agencies.
Pick up and return for most car hires is direct at the Sydney airport and some don't require a credit card at the time of the reservation. When making arrangements in advance of your departure date, look for the many deals offered by the agencies. Some offer sky miles, breaks when booking flight, accommodation and car together. You might want to look at the major online booking websites for internet specials and other deals. Renting a car on the spot, just after your arrival, is also possible.
When entering your rental car, you will be entering on the drivers side although, in Sydney, as well as all of Australia, that would be the right hand side of the car, where the steering wheel is, not on left as we know it. Your bags will be placed in the boot, otherwise known to us as the trunk. You should be all set to go with a full tank of petrol and be sure to return the car hire that way as well.
