What kind of rental car should I get for Sydney?
If you've never visited Sydney, you're in for a treat. With big-name sights like Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, you'll be wondering why you didn't plan your vacation sooner. But like all major metropolises, getting behind the wheel can be challenging — so why not go for a mini? Parking is a piece of cake and handling is about as easy as it gets. However, if you'd rather steer clear of the city center and check out the more remote bays in New South Wales, choose a four-wheel drive or an SUV.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Sydney?
You'll be pleased to hear that there's an impressive variety of both economy and luxury rental vehicles in Sydney. What you go with is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick up a high-end SUV, or perhaps a fancy mid-size sedan? On the other hand, if you're just after a set of wheels to zip around town in as efficiently as possible, you're better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
