If you have a foreign driver's licence, you can still hire a car in Parramatta, but there are a few things to keep in mind. You'll need to provide your passport when booking, and if your licence is not in English, you will need to obtain an International Driver's Permit to be eligible for a Parramatta hire car.

There are no restricted roads in Parramatta. However, if you plan road trips into Wollemi National Park or other nearby nature reserves, note that most car hire companies won’t allow you to take their vehicles on gravel roads. So, keep an eye out for routes like Glen Davis Rd that start out paved before transitioning to dirt and gravel.
