What you need to know about car rentals in Sydney

How do I find the best deals on a Sydney Budget rental car?

We try to get you the best price, no matter when you reserve your car. But getting your car ahead of time can help you save even more. Make sure to not add an additional driver and read the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

What do I need have with me when I pick up my car rental in Sydney?

You'll need to bring your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's Sydney's minimum age to rent a car?

Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Sydney is 21. Take time to check Budget's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals especially.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Sydney?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Sydney. Compact or economy automobiles are great for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a sedan or SUV is going to have more room for everyone's luggage and provide a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Sydney vacation can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does Australia require car insurance?

In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent from Budget. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa and MasterCard, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Budget require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Budget does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Sydney. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

We recommend a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with full tank, and you should return it with a full tank of gas. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Budget.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Sydney definitely has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities in Sydney.

Does Sydney Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another Budget. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you pick one-way.
