Driving Tips for Sydney
As you drive your rental car in Sydney and the surrounding regions, keep these tips in mind, and driving on the other side of the world will be a breeze:
- Drive on the left: In your rental car in Sydney, you’ll drive on the left and the steering wheel will be on the right. If this is new to you, don’t rush; give yourself time to adjust.
- Rush hour: Traffic is particularly congested in the neighborhoods Haymarket, The Rocks, Liverpool, and the Central Business District (CBD) during early morning and late afternoon.
- Toll Roads: You will encounter many toll roads when you are driving in and around Sydney, including the renowned Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel.
- Summer in winter: Since the seasons are at opposite times of the year in Sydney, remember to wear sunglasses and have a bottle of water when you drive in the sunny, hot season, which lasts from December through February.
