If you go to Sydney intending to visit numerous attractions, consider driving car rentals in Sydney. While there are many transit buses in the city, they work under fixed schedules and travel on specific routes. This limits your access to some of the natural landmarks and scenic views. However, a rental car gives you the flexibility to drive at your own pace. With a rental car, you can go to Cape Breton Highlands National Park, around 82 km (51 miles) northwest of the city.
Most flights to Sydney land at J.A. Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport (YQY), which is about 43 km (26 miles) from the city. Several car-rental agencies, including Avis, National, Enterprise, and Budget, are located in the air-terminal building. You should be prepared for long lines when renting a car at the airport if rental vehicles are in demand. Therefore, consider booking in advance to avoid the last-minute delays. Also, familiarize yourself with the age requirements and fees charged by the various agencies before booking.
Roads in Sydney are well marked and paved, and most drivers in the city are considerate. When driving car rentals in Sydney, beware of trucks driving to and from the coal-mining site. When you’re driving and need to pass these trucks, overtake them carefully and safely. Also, you should be careful when driving on particular stretches of Grand Lake Road, a dangerous intersection in the city. Drunk driving is illegal in the city, and the legal blood-alcohol-concentration upper limit is 0.08%.
Driving car rentals in Sydney during winter can be challenging. Icy roads are slippery, making it difficult to drive the car. Even if your rental car has winter tires for a better grip on the road, consider researching some safe winter driving tips for the smoothest possible driving experience. Thus, avoid skidding, leave more space between cars, keep your headlights on for visibility, and drive slowly to avoid collisions.

They canceled the reservation the day of the rental because there were no cars available. More advance notice should have been given. Fortunately the Avis down the street was able to accommodate us as well as several others who experienced the same thing.

Harman Johal is great -- a very friendly, efficient and understanding "agent" (he's actually the branch manager). Mid-rental, we needed to make two major changes to our original contract; Harman accommodated us quickly and with no hassle at all. Highly recommend!

Great experience; but wish we would have been told there were winter tires on the vehicle as they were quite loud while driving in August in Sydney, Nova Scotia; no snow.

We are very disappointed with our experience and will never use Avis again. After calling the day before our booking to change the pick up time and confirm (which the agent did confirm there was no issue with the new pick up time and the pick up time was changed), we took a taxi to downtown Avis from the airport as airport Avis was sold out. Upon arrival, Avis was closed and we were left without a rental car to get to our hotel 2 hours away. We took a taxi half way to the hotel before the airport Avis location called back saying they now had a mini van available, even though we had booked an SUV. This cost us about $400 more than anticipated ($100 taxi and can was $300 more for the week than SUV) and 4 hour of our time. It was a horrible experience on my birthday and to start our honeymoon and we will never use Avis ever again.

They sold us on a GPS when the car had one built in, and we paid for the satellite radio and it never got hooked up.

Could not use the credit card we booked with (didn't have the physical card) so we had to pay unexpected fees for insurance that would have been covered by the other card. Gentleman at the counter was not helpful - clearly wanted to go home as it was near the end of the day.
