Top tips for hiring a car in New South Wales

  • When you pick up your hire vehicle, a provider will usually request you provide a credit card. Alternatively, another applicable option is a debit card, but this can change depending on your provider. You will be charged a deposit in case of accidental damage that may occur to the vehicle whilst it’s in your possession. A driver will not be able to pay with cash or cheque deposits, only cards.
  • Drivers who are intending to hire a vehicle whilst they are in New South Wales will find that they have to bring certain and specific documentation with them before they can successfully drive away with a vehicle. At the time of pick-up, a driver must always show either a full driver licence in English or an Australian green P-plate licence. It is usually requested that this has been valid for at least 12 months. A driver must also generally show that their passport is valid throughout the duration of their car hire. Providers might differ in their requests, so it’s best to check beforehand.
  • New South Wales are very strict on their drink and drive limit, so all drivers must make sure to abide by all of the rules. A driver must never get behind the wheel when they have consumed more than the recommended maximum beverage count. The current limit states that a driver can never have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level of more than 0.05 gr per every 100ml of blood. Factors such as your age, body size, weight and gender, can influence this rate, so it’s best to avoid drinking and driving altogether.

FAQs about hiring a car in New South Wales
