What to know before you pick up the keys.
Driving in Sydney
Heavy Sydney traffic, fixed and mobile speed cameras, and winding roads in the Blue Mountains and on the coast.
Tolls
Many Sydney motorways and tunnels are cashless toll roads. Ask how your supplier bills tolls and any admin fee.
Rental restrictions
Check unsealed-road and national park terms before you leave the highway.
What to check in your Hertz Sydney conditions
The terms that change the total most often.
Fuel policy
Check whether the car is full-to-full or pre-paid fuel. Pre-paid fuel is usually dearer than refuelling yourself.
Excess and insurance
Standard cover has an excess you pay if the car is damaged. Compare reducing the excess with the supplier against third-party cover.
One-way fees
Dropping the car in a different city can add a fee. See our one-way guides before you choose a route.
Young and additional drivers
Drivers under 25 and extra drivers often cost more per day. Confirm the amounts at booking.
Tolls and fines
Tolls and fines are passed on by the supplier, often with an admin fee. Ask how tolls are billed.
Deposit
A card deposit is normally held at pick-up and released after return. Check the amount and the card types accepted.
One-way trips from Sydney
Ask whether Hertz allows your drop-off city; any one-way fee is shown before you book.
Hertz Sydney questions
Short answers. Details depend on your booking.
Where can I collect a Hertz rental car in Sydney?
Search Sydney Airport, the city centre or a suburban depot. Your voucher shows the exact Hertz desk or depot address and opening hours.
Is Hertz cheaper at Sydney Airport or in the city?
It depends on the dates. Airport pick-ups can include a location fee, so compare the Hertz total for both before you choose.
Can I return a Hertz car from Sydney in another city?
Often yes, as a one-way rental where Hertz has a location at your drop-off. Any fee is shown in the total.
What do I need to collect a Hertz car in Sydney?
A full licence held for at least a year, a credit card in the main driver’s name and your voucher. Carry an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in English.
How are tolls charged on a Hertz rental in Sydney?
Many Sydney motorways and tunnels are cashless toll roads. Ask how your supplier bills tolls and any admin fee. Ask Hertz how tolls are billed and whether an admin fee applies.
