Sydney features mostly large streets that are suitable for a wide range of vehicle sizes. Drivers shouldn’t have any issues getting around, even if they choose a minivan or SUV. It is worth mentioning, though, that streetside parking is often necessary, and this will be done more easily in a small vehicle.
For the main urban areas in Sydney, drivers will see speed limits ranging from 30 km/h (18 mph) in mixed-use urban areas, 40 km/h (25 mph) in the central downtown area and in areas with high levels of pedestrian traffic, and up to 50 km/h (31 mph) on urban roads.
Parking in Sydney is not too difficult to find except in Sydney’s central business district. Sydney’s CBD has scarce streetside parking and, when it can be found, is quite expensive. The best option for parking in the CBD is to take advantage of one of the various parking garages and then to go out on foot and use public transport from there.
On average a car hire in Sydney costs $65 per day.
In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at Simba Car Hire ($23/day), JUCY ($27/day) and East Coast Car Rentals ($28/day). In the last 72 hours the cheapest hire car price was found at Simba Car Hire 251 Coward Street, Sydney Airport, Mascot, Australia null (6 kilometres from the city centre).
The average price of fuel in Sydney is $6.10 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between $73 and $98, depending on the car size.
Compact (Toyota Auris or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Sydney.

Hendrik, Jan 2020
Pros:
The class of vehicle i booked was not available, yet I was charged the full amount BEFORE being informed that the full size SUV was not available. When I wanted to compare other options and cost, I was told to wait (with a 1 year old baby, after a 14 he flight) and ignored for an hour. Staff was short, rude and not interested in providing information. When I offered to return the nexr day to collect the class of vehicle I booked, that was also declined. I eventually got a smaller car, that forced me to change my family holiday plans, required the use of a second vehicle for 5 days.Cons:
I should've received the car I booked, or provided with alternatives. I use Thrifty aften (4 times a year, for about 3 months in total) but will reconsider my options in future10.0 Wonderful
