KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bathurst

  • Booking car hire in Bathurst gives you the convenience of immediately starting your holiday on your terms. No need to wait for public transport or have the hassle of hailing down a cab, just load up and go. You'll find a bus and train system in the city, but if you are heading to locations like the awe-inspiring Abercrombie Caves, which is about a 1-hour drive from the city centre and not accessible by public transport, then car hire is your best bet.
  • Car hire in Bathurst is most convenient when booked for collection directly from the airport. Bathurst Airport (BHS) is home to several globally recognised car companies, including Avis, Budget, Thrifty, Sixt and a few more. The airport is around 10 minutes from Bathurst city centre and is easily accessible on the Great Western Highway. You'll find the car hire collections desks on your left-hand side as you enter the main terminal building.
  • An interesting thing to know about driving your Bathurst car hire in the city is that Bathurst is home to a strip of road that serves as the Bathurst 1000 race track, which weaves around Mount Panorama. When it is not being used for racing, it is also a public road that follows the regular rules of driving in Bathurst. Traffic flows in both directions on the track when it's not being raced on. This stretch of road is also very popular with joggers and cyclists, so pay extra attention.
  • There is not much traffic congestion in Bathurst, but it can get quite busy on certain streets in the CBD. Try to avoid the downtown area in the mornings, at lunchtime and in the early evenings. The same logic should be applied on public holidays; traffic can be high on celebration days. You'll find the most traffic congestion around sporting and racing events that are regularly held in the city, mostly motor racing events. These occasions attract large numbers of visitors which clog up the roads.
