To get started with car rental in Sydney, Australia or any other location around Sydney, including but not limited to Mascot, Caringbah, Redfern, Roseberry, Sutherland and Sydney CBD, choose a vehicle that suits your needs and book online for the best rates. You'll need a valid driver’s license (and possibly an International Driving Permit), be at least 21 years old, and have a credit card for the deposit. When picking up the car, review the rental terms, inspect for damage, and consider an e-tag for toll roads to make driving around Sydney easier.

Yes, you can rent a car with a debit card, but please speak to our staff first. We accept debit cards (usually Visa or Mastercard), but we may require additional identification, a higher security deposit, or proof of return travel (like a flight itinerary). It's always best to check the specific terms with us in advance.

The kind of car rental you need depends on your travel plans, group size, and budget:

• City Driving: A compact or economy car is ideal - easy to park, fuel-efficient, and affordable.
• Road Trips or Regional Travel: A midsize car or SUV offers more comfort, luggage space, and power for longer drives or hilly terrain.
• Group or Family Travel: Consider a larger SUV, van, or people mover to accommodate more passengers and bags.
• Snow or Adventure Travel: An AWD (all-wheel drive) may be necessary if you plan to explore rugged areas. Please note, unfortunately off-road use is not allowed by our insurance company.

A rental car security deposit is a temporary charge placed on your credit or debit card when you pick up the vehicle. It acts as a financial guarantee in case of damage, traffic fines, fuel charges, or if the car is returned late. The amount varies depending on the type of car, and payment method (credit or debit card) - typically ranging from AUD $250 to $1,000. If everything is in order when you return the car, the full deposit is returned back to your card. Please note, we refund you straight away, though it may take a few days to show back in your account, you may need to contact your bank if it takes longer for them to release the money.

Yes, you can usually cancel or modify your car rental reservation, but the rules depend on the type of booking you made. We offer free cancellations with nor changes up to 7 days before pickup. However, prepaid bookings for peak seasons might come with cancellation fees or limited flexibility. Always check with us in regards to the cancellation and modification policy to avoid unexpected charges.

Yes, it's usually possible to extend your rental period, but you should contact us as soon as possible to arrange it. Extensions depend on vehicle availability and may involve a change in the daily rate or additional fees. If you return the car late without notifying our staff, you could be charged late return penalties (usually an extra day if returned same day), so it's best to confirm the extension in advance.
