KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Parramatta

  • Sitting on the outer western edge of Sydney, hiring a car in Parramatta lets you quickly travel to regional suburbs as well as beaches north and south of Sydney Harbour. Enjoy the freedom of being able to reach destinations such as Blue Mountains National Park in roughly 40min instead of the 2h trip it takes by bus and train, as the public transport system would inevitably connect you to the CBD before making your way to the attractions. Save time by hiring a car in Parramatta to bypass the CBD and beat the crowds when visiting Bondi Beach and Manly.
  • You can find the offices of hire companies including Hertz, Budget, Avis and Thrifty in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal 1 at Sydney International Airport (SYD). If you are arriving at Terminal 2 or 3, a shuttle bus can be caught to Terminal 1. The vehicles are located on the ground floor of Car Park P7, which is a short walk from the reception desks.
  • As there are plenty of one-way streets in Parramatta, it’s best to use GPS directions to ensure you navigate your route effectively. Driving lanes can be particularly narrow in certain parts of the city so it’s important to closely watch your side mirrors. There are several toll roads surrounding Parramatta, particularly leading west towards the Blue Mountains, making it important to ask for an e-TAG in your hire car. Police patrol the streets of Sydney diligently and strictly enforce seat belts and mobile phone use. Abide by the laws to avoid costly fines.
  • Peak-hour traffic is worse between 07:30–09:30 and 16:00–19:00 in Parramatta. During these periods, it’s best to avoid using Parramatta Rd as it is a key arterial linking city workers to the western suburbs. The summer months in Sydney can bring scorching weather and it’s recommended to choose a hire car with dependable air conditioning to stay cool on long journeys.
  • When travelling with children to Parramatta, it's important to note that car seat regulations in Australia apply. Infants require a rear-facing car seat, while children aged six months to four years need either a forward-facing or rear-facing child car seat. For children aged four to seven, you'll need an approved booster seat or a forward-facing child car seat. All car seats must meet the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1754 and be fitted with the correct harness. If you want to avoid carrying your own car seat, you should be able to book one along with your Parramatta hire car.
  • To hire a vehicle, you must hold a valid driver's licence and be at least 21 years old, regardless of whether you're opting for cheap car hire in Parramatta or a premium vehicle. Keep in mind that if you're 21 to 24 years old, some Parramatta car hire companies may add a young person surcharge to your hire, increasing your daily hire cost. The surcharge policies vary among hire agencies, so it's advisable to compare different options through KAYAK and carefully read the terms and conditions before booking your favourite vehicle.
  • Cheap car hire in Parramatta is a great way to explore this region of New South Wales, with plenty of road trip options available. If you’re keen to enjoy beautiful beaches without the crowds, you can hop in your hire car and pop down to Collins Beach or Store Beach in Manly. To discover scenic coastal walks and bathe in natural rock pools, you can drive down to the Royal National Park, which is around 40 km south of Parramatta. If you’d like to visit Australia’s capital while you’re in the region, Canberra is only 278 km or so from Parramatta.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Parramatta for $42 or less
