Sydney Car hire

Sydney airport is 10 kilometres south of the city. There is a good rail and bus system connecting the airport to the city. A train to the city will cost around $11, while a taxi will cost around $30. Check out the Rocks area, the Sydney Opera House, Taronga Park Zoo, the Olympic Stadium and Darling Harbour. Sydney is a great place to walk around, but no visit to Sydney can be complete without catching a ferry to cruise around the harbour.

Cairns Car hire

Cairns airport is around 15 kilometres north of the city. Cairns is a tropical city, and as the brochures say, is where the rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. There is plenty to see in and around Cairns but you will need to hire a car to see everything. Take a leisurely drive up to Port Douglas, Mossman, cross the Daintree River (look out for crocodiles basking in the sun) or the cool of the Atherton Tableland. The Kuranda markets are a not-to-be-missed social event. The Cairns Sky Rail will give you a bird’s eye view of the beauty of the tropical rainforest.

Canberra Car hire

Canberra airport is 10 kilometres east of the city. A taxi into the city will cost around $16. Canberra is 30 minutes by air or three hours by road from Sydney. From Melbourne it’s seven hours by road or 50 minutes by air. Take a drive out to one of the many National Parks that surround Canberra or cruise around the sites such as the War Memorial, Parliament House or the National Gallery.

Melbourne Car hire

Melbourne Airport is 20 kilometres north-west of the city, a bit more than half an hour’s drive and about $40 in a taxi. The city and suburbs are serviced by tram, bus and rail. Melbourne is known for its trams which provide a cheap and efficient means of travelling around the city. While in Melbourne be sure to visit St Kilda, the MCG, and Lygon St in Carlton. Better still, hire a car and take a drive along the spectacular Great Ocean Road.

Brisbane Car hire

Brisbane Airport is 15 kilometres east of the city, and has bus and rail transfers. Taxis charge around $25 from the airport to the city. Buses run regularly from the Roma Street Transit Centre to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, and to other intra and interstate destinations. If you want to travel in style from Brisbane to Sydney or Cairns, The Great South Pacific Express offers a luxurious rail experience. Brisbane is an easy 2 hour drive from both Byron Bay and Noosa.

Perth Car hire

Perth Airport is 20 kilometres north-east of the city. The 20 to 30- minute trip by taxi to the city will cost around $30. The historic port of Fremantle (known as ‘Freo’ by the locals) is a pleasant 15 kilometre drive, along the Swan River, to the west of the city centre. Hire a car and head south to Bunbury and the beautiful Margaret River wine region.

Darwin Car hire

The airport is 12 kilometres from the city. Bus and taxi services operate between the city and suburbs. If you hire a car and plan on exploring outside Darwin, check the fine print about driving on unsealed roads and consider whether you need to hire a four wheel drive.

Adelaide Car hire

The airport is 7 kilometres south-west of the city, and a taxi ride to the city costs around $20. The central city is designed on a grid pattern measuring around 2 square kilometres, and is very easy to navigate around. The city is surrounded by a belt of parklands that creates a pleasant leafy feel. Be sure to rent a new car and visit the famous wine regions of the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.

Hobart Car hire

Hobart International Airport is 22 kilometres from the city and the trip costs around $30 by taxi. There are escorted Historic Hobart walks or you can pick up a self-guide walking map to see the sites of this historic town. The former penal colony of Port Arthur is a pleasant 1.5 hour drive south of Hobart. The world famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race finishes in Hobart in late December each year. Hire a car and drive up Mt Wellington for a spectacular view of the Derwent River.
