SIXT has car hire in Australia completely covered, with branches in the country's major cities and regions, from Melbourne to Sydney and up to the Gold Coast, as well as across the strait on Tasmania. Our vehicle range is appropriate for this country of many contrasts – you can get anything from a saloon for cruising the to business meetings downtown, to a tough 4x4 to take on the more rugged areas of the country. Our fleet contains vehicles from premium brands like Mercedes and Audi, all maximum 3 months old. While these may be first-class cars, you get them at affordable prices. You’ll find our branches conveniently located near major transport hubs and tourist landmarks in the cities.
