HERTZ Car Rental at Sydney Airport

Sydney Airport is the largest airport in Australia, and is located just 8 km from the Central Business District of Sydney, the largest city in the country found in New South Wales. The airport is also commonly referred to as the Kingsford Smith Airport, or even as the Mascot Airport, due to its location in this suburb, and is next to Botany Bay. Sydney Airport is a hub for three major airline companies, Qantas, Virgin Australia and Jetstar, and handles over 44 million passengers per annum. The three terminal buildings of the airport are well equipped with all amenities required by their passengers, including car hire companies, such as Hertz. Hertz is a car rental company with thousands of locations around the world, and offers competitive prices at Sydney Airport.

Due to the airport’s location within an urban area, it has a curfew to follow. No landings or take-offs may occur between 23:00 and 06:00. Hertz, at Sydney Airport, therefore operates between the hours of 05:00 and 23:00. Their offices are also open every day of the week, and Hertz can be found in the arrival areas of all the terminal buildings. Terminal 1 handles all international flights at the airport, while Terminal 2 and 3 are used for domestic flight operations. Passengers will not need to transfer to another terminal in order to arrange their vehicle from Hertz, but should it be necessary to move to another terminal, buses, taxis and trains provide transport from T2 and T3 to T1. The domestic terminals are within easy walking distance of one another. Although cars can be hired directly from the rental counters of Hertz, customers may also go to Hertz’s website, at www.hertz.com, for an advanced reservation.

At this Hertz rental location, customers may use Gold Counter services if they belong to the Hertz #1 Club Gold, rent car seats for their children or even add the Hertz NeverLost, In-Car Navigation System to their rental agreement. The additional items for hire will cost a few extra dollars per day of car hire, but are well worth hiring for the ease and safety of the journey. All small children should travel in their own seats, and be securely buckled-up, while a satellite navigation system is wonderful to have with you if you are unfamiliar with the road network in and around Sydney. The navigation system offered by Hertz is manufactured by Magellan, a leader in satellite navigation technology, and comes with many features. It also has a colour touch screen, easy-to-use interface and an extensive list of points of interest.

Although only more frequent renters from Hertz can belong to the Hertz #1 Club Gold, all customers may apply for the Hertz #1 Club, and receive numerous benefits when hiring a vehicle. In general, the reservation, rental and collection procedures are simplified, and members enjoy various discounts and special promotions from Hertz. If a customer hires a vehicle three times in a twelve month period, they will be invited to join the Hertz #1 Club Gold, and receive priority counter service along with many other time and money saving benefits.

At Hertz, Sydney Airport, hand controls may be available for disabled drivers with a lower limb deficiency. This device controls the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle, and should always be reserved in advance. A disabled person who is unable to drive may still be the primary renter of a vehicle as well, by using a designated driver. While the disabled person’s credit card will be used for payment of the rental period, the drivers license of the indicated person will be used to validate the rental. No extra charges are applicable for hand controls or for a driver required by a disabled renter. Sydney Airport is also fully equipped for the needs of wheelchair bound passengers, and passengers with reduced mobility challenges.

Hertz offers a wide range of quality vehicles, and this is perhaps one of the reasons why Hertz is the most well known car hire company in the world. They have over ninety years of experience in the car rental industry, and over 8,000 locations in many different countries. At Sydney Airport, customers can hire the Toyota Yaris, Toyota Corolla Hatch, Toyota Corolla Sedan or Toyota Camry for their holiday or business trip in Australia, or even the Ford Falcon XR6 and Holden Statesman, with cruise control, power steering and driver airbags. These cars are all found in the car/convertible category at Hertz. Families in need of more luggage space will also find the perfect vehicle, as estate cars are available, such as the Holden Sportwagon or the Toyota Kluger, which is a car with dual airbags and electric windows, among many other features.

Passengers arriving at Sydney Airport who require an even larger vehicle have a choice between the Toyota RAV 4, Kia Carnival and the Toyota Commuter Bus, or even the Toyota 12-seater bus. Groups of travelers may find these types of vehicles to be ideal, as they offer plenty of room for passengers and luggage. A one way hire with any of the vehicles mentioned may be arranged with Hertz, however, the majority of car hire companies do not allow their vehicles to be taken into the Northern Territory, to Western Australia, or on a ferry to any of the nearby islands. Customers should confirm to which rental locations their one way hire may be returned, and if the service will incur any additional costs.

At Sydney Airport, Hertz can be contacted for all further enquiries.
