KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in North Sydney

  • Hire a car in North Sydney to have the freedom to explore secluded bays and destinations, such as Berry Island Reserve and Balls Head Reserve, that are not connected by public transport. Reaching South Sydney beaches only requires a 30min drive from North Sydney; however, bus and train journeys must changeover in the CBD and take closer to 1h. A hire car is also preferable if you are planning to visit Garigal National Park or Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park because it’s possible to drive right into the heart of the protected bushlands, while public transport drops you at the perimeter.
  • If you are landing at Terminal 1 of Sydney International Airport (SYD), hire company offices are located next to the exit gates between Arrivals Hall A and B. It’s a short walk to reach the P7 Car Park where vehicles are picked up and no shuttle is required. Reception desks can also be found in Terminal 2 and 3, opposite the baggage claim area. Hire companies such as East Coast Car Rentals, JUCY and Ace Rental Cars provide free shuttles to their branches off airport grounds.
  • Crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge can be confusing as there are many lanes and turn-offs, which is why using GPS navigation is recommended. North Sydney has plenty of one-way streets and it’s best to outline a clear route to avoid getting caught going in circles. Undertaking is common as drivers attempt to find the quickest channel of traffic so it’s important to keep a watchful eye out for blind spots when changing lanes. Make sure not to drive in red bus lanes while they’re in operation, usually between 06:00–10:00 and 15:00–20:00, as it’s likely you’ll be issued with a fine.
  • It’s recommended to plan around rush hours of traffic, which occur in North Sydney from 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–19:00. Delays can particularly be expected on the M1 in both directions and it’s smart to allow additional time to reach your destination. Congestion on the Pacific Hwy is worst around the intersection with Miller St.
  • As you drive through North Sydney, there are several roads you will likely encounter that have specific restrictions. One example is Miller Street. This is a busy road in North Sydney that is restricted during peak hours. The limits are in place to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, and they apply to vehicles travelling southbound on Miller Street between the Pacific Highway and Berry Street. You’ll need to comply with these Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 10:00 am. Falcon Street is another busy road in North Sydney that is restricted during peak hours. The restrictions apply to vehicles travelling northbound on Falcon Street between Military Road and Willoughby Road and are in place Monday to Friday from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
  • It is illegal to drive in Australia with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05% or higher, and for some drivers, such as those with a learner or provisional licence, the limit is 0.00%. Penalties for breaking these laws can range from fines and licence suspensions to imprisonment. In addition, police can administer breath tests at any time and place where driving occurs. It is important to note that even if your BAC is lower than the legal limit, you can still face charges if you show signs of impaired driving.
  • The exact requirements to hire a car in North Sydney, NSW, may vary depending on the car hire company, but there are some general requirements that are commonly requested. You should have a valid driver's licence. This should be in your name and in English or accompanied by an international driving permit. Most car hire companies also have an age requirement of 21 years old and may charge a young driver surcharge for drivers under 25 years old; this is something to keep in mind, especially for those seeking cheap car hire in North Sydney. Some companies may also have a maximum age limit. Additionally, you will usually need a valid credit card in your name to make the booking and pay for the hire car.
