Before, during and after your rental

A few simple steps make your pick-up at Sydney Airport effortless.

Before you collect the car

- Your New Zealand licence is in English and accepted throughout Australia, so there is no need for an International Driving Permit.

- Have your reservation reference and the main driver's credit card ready.

During your rental

- The SIXT app lets you view your reservation and change dates or times on the go.

- Choose extras such as GPS navigation, child seats or an additional driver when you book.

- You drive on the left in New South Wales, the same as in New Zealand.

When you return

- Top up the tank before drop-off, or add SIXT's fuel service at booking so you can simply return the keys and go.

Explore Sydney by rental car

A rent a car Sydney Airport booking puts the region's highlights within reach:

  • Bondi and the eastern beaches: a short drive from the airport
  • Blue Mountains: around 90 minutes west for lookouts and bushwalks
  • Hunter Valley: roughly two hours north for wineries

Sydney's motorways use cashless electronic tolling, and SIXT can manage tolls for you so there is nothing to sort out roadside. Reserve your car rental Sydney Airport with SIXT and explore New South Wales on your schedule.

Fairly straightforward considering the disruption to all of the car hire facilities. It would be nice if you could have a staff member in Terminal 3 for as long as possible. It would be difficult for anyone who is remotely disabled or elderly to hire a car at Sydney airport, the distance that they have to walk would a real disincentive. Having said that a least the Sixt car park is a lot closer than Avis.
