Sydney City – Best Independent Car Hire Companies

For Sydney City car rentals, one company though limited in variety, emerged as the clear winner. For what they offer, they beat everyone out there including all of the Big Boys of Avis, Hertz, Budget, Thrifty and Europcar by being a gratifying 50% cheaper.

Bayswater Car Rental… a.k.a. No Birds Go To Site

Our #1 pick. Toyota Corolla Hatch & Sedan only. Excess reduction included free. Unlimited km’s

This is the company the locals rent their cars from. They offer brand new Toyota Corolla Hatches and Sedans and their already rockbottom prices include unlimited km’s and reduced damage responsibility of A$300 (most other car rental companies, including the Big Boys, usually have an average damage liability of A$2750 that they then charge a whopping A$12-24/day to lower). Excellent value.

Note: you need to book for a minimum of 3 days. Any less and you’ll have to take the 1-yr old Corolla Hatch city-use package which includes only 100km/day (A$0.30/extra km).

Discount Car Rental Go To Site

Cheap for Standard sedans, Wagons and Vans. 250km/day

The site may be rather basic but if you need a larger car than those offered by Bayswater Car Rental, there’s a good chance you’ll find the best prices at Discount Car Rental. Standard car rentals include 250km/day with a A$2750 collision damage liability that can be dropped to A$550 for A$16/day.
