KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Mascot

  • The legal age requirement for hiring a car in Mascot is 25. However, some providers may allow drivers under 25 but above 21 to drive their cars at a surcharge. When collecting your hire car in Mascot, you must produce a driving licence valid that’s been valid for longer than a year. International drivers can use a government-issued driving licence from their home country, provided it’s in English. If your driving licence is not in English, get an International Driving Permit (IDP) from a recognised body for translation. Car hire providers may also ask you to produce additional documentation, including a copy of your passport and proof of residence.
  • Mascot car hire providers normally accept credit card payments from major companies such as Visa and MasterCard. The credit card you use should be under the main driver’s name. Nevertheless, some companies allow customers to pay through debit cards, but you should fulfil specific requirements. Most companies may ask you to provide a ticketed return travel itinerary, pay a cash deposit or provide proof of insurance for your hire car in Mascot to cater for any damages. You can get insurance from your Mascot car hire provider or use your auto cover, depending on the company you work with. Sometimes, you may find companies allowing you to pay with cash, but it’s rare.
  • If you plan to take alcoholic drinks in Mascot, ensure you come with an additional driver. The permitted blood alcohol limit for all drivers in Mascot is 0.05%. Failure to observe this rule puts you at risk of accidents and also attracts hefty fines when found. Before travelling with an additional driver, ensure they meet all car hire requirements, such as driving licence and age, depending on your provider. Also, remember to include them in your original car hire agreement. There will likely be an associated fee, even with cheap car hire in Mascot.
  • Hire a car in Mascot to quickly be on the road after a flight to Sydney International Airport (SYD). Rather than lugging your luggage on a train or bus ride, picking up a hire car means you’ll be able to store your belongings in the boot promptly before getting behind the wheel. Save valuable time when you choose a hire car in Mascot. Although the T8 train line connects travellers by train to the CBD and southern suburbs, a hire car reaches eastern and western residential areas more directly. Driving from the airport to Bondi takes roughly 25min, while a public transport journey is closer to 1h, with a connection necessary in the city.
  • Reception desks of hire companies in Domestic Terminal 2 and 3 of Sydney International Airport (SYD) are located across from the baggage claim. A short walk of less than 5min is needed to reach the hire cars in the designated car parks. Travellers arriving in the International Terminal 1 will find car hire offices just outside the screening section. If you are being picked up by a shuttle to go to a hire company with an off-site branch, exit the terminal and follow the signs to the Express Pickup zone.
  • Be wary while driving in Mascot that other road users may be rushing to board a flight and may take unnecessary risks to speed up their journey. Approach intersections at a steady pace and keep a watchful eye on blind spots. Large transport vehicles are common on roads around Sydney International Airport and it’s recommended to provide additional space when passing.
  • Peak hour is worst in Mascot from 07:00–09:00 and 15:00–19:00, though congestion is common throughout the day as Sydney International Airport has a steady stream of flight arrivals and departures. The intersection of Southern Cross Dr and General Holmes Dr is impacted most, with drivers encouraged to allow extra time to reach their destination as delays should be expected.
  • Book your rental car in Mascot at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Mascot are around 6% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What side should I drive on in Mascot?

    Mascot traffic laws require you to drive on the left side of the road, meaning that your car’s steering wheel and controls are located on the right side of the vehicle. This can be challenging during the first few days of your trip if you come from a country that drives on the right-hand side of the road.

  • How can I return my Mascot hire car to a different location?

    It’s possible to drop off your hire car in a different location, but you have to state it in your car hire agreement and pay an extra fee. This may not be ideal for those seeking cheap car hire in Mascot. Always check your car provider’s policies to avoid breaching your Mascot car hire contract because not all companies allow one-way bookings.

Pros:

We booked a car from Avis at the Sydney Airport and when we went to pickup the car they told us that they don't have the car that we booked. The Manager Mahmood was we rude and even was refusing to give us any vehicle. I don't understand why a company like Avis hire people like him? I don't recommend this car rental location to anyone.
