SIXT Car Rental in Australia

Down under in Australia, you can find enchanting cities with great culture and a vast countryside that beckons. To see the most, a rental car in Australia is ideal. You’ll have access to our impressive fleet, featuring top car brands, like BMW and Mitsubishi.

SIXT has branches in all major cities, including Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as more remote areas like Darwin. Wherever you’re going down under, SIXT car rental in Australia can take you there.

Driving Tips for Australia

The best way to experience the expansive and varied Australian landscape is with a set of wheels, but be sure to take note of the local road rules before you venture out.

  • Drive on the left Aussies use right-hand drive vehicles and drive on the left side of the road. Pass vehicles using the right lane.
  • Obey the speed limit Roads in cities are generally 31 mph (50 km/h) and highways are 62-68 mph (100-110 km/h). As always, avoid speeding: penalties are steep in Australia, and speed cameras are common.
  • Parking Park on the left side of the road. Signs that display 2P or 3P indicate the permitted hourly duration you can park.
  • T2 and T3 Lanes Traffic lanes marked T2 or T3 are transit lanes for high occupancy vehicles and indicate the number of passengers per car permitted in the lane.
  • Gas Check your vehicle’s gas tank size and research available fueling stations before driving into remote areas. It can be wise to bring a can of gas if you are uncertain of available stations.

Best places to visit in and around Australia

Australia is filled with memorable sights that will leave a lasting impression. A car and thoughtful planning are all you need to experience everything from Sydney’s chic urbanity to Melbourne's best day trips. And there’s more:

  • Sydney: No visit to Australia is complete without a trip to New South Wales’ capital city, where the iconic opera house rises proudly next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Rent a car in Australia and start a road trip from Melbourne to Sydney.
  • Maximize your car rental in Australia with a road trip from Brisbane to Surfers Paradise, where attractions like SkyPoint Climb offer sweeping views and the glistening beaches await.
  • Perth: Situated on Australia’s west coast, Perth offers a different coastal vantage. Visit attractions like King’s Park and Botanical Garden, known for its Aboriginal and European history and leading horticultural initiatives, and the vibrant culture of the historic Fremantle Market.

Good to know when renting in Australia

Car rental under 25 in Australia

The minimum age for a SIXT rental in Australia is 21 with a license held for at least 1 year. Some car categories have a higher minimum age for rental, and an underage driver surcharge is applied for those under 25.

Documents you need to rent a car in Australia

You will need a valid driver’s license held for at least 1 year. International renters and drivers need their passport and an international driving permit.

Tolls

Australia has multiple toll roads, and they all use an electronic toll payment system. Cash is not accepted. The SIXT fleet is outfitted with e-Tags that make electronic toll payments automatically. Your credit card will be billed for the toll amount without any additional fee added.

Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road in Australia, and beware of the frequent roundabouts! Looking at your phone, not wearing your seatbelt, and drinking and driving are absolutely not allowed.
