Driving in Sydney: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Sydney.
If your licence is printed in English, you can usually drive without extra paperwork. If it isn’t, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Rental companies also check that your ID matches your booking.
Navigating city driving
Sydney has busy central streets and clear motorway links.
Driving is simple outside the centre, though traffic slows near the harbour and main offices. Navigation apps help you avoid toll tunnels and guide you to beaches, suburbs and bridges across the city.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Sydney uses toll roads and tunnels across the city.
Most tolls are electronic and billed to your rental car. There are no emissions zones. Check your rental company’s toll instructions so you understand how charges will be applied during your trip.
Parking your car in Sydney
Parking is easiest in car parks close to the city centre.
Street spaces are limited, especially near Circular Quay. Multi-storey car parks offer reliable access to shops and attractions. Always check signposts, as time limits and fees vary by area.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Sydney are increasing.
Petrol stations sit along main roads and in suburbs. Charging points are growing across the city, including shopping areas. Apps like PlugShare help you find chargers before longer journeys.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are steady, but motorway lanes can feel fast.
Traffic slows in the centre, especially near bridge approaches. Use clear signals, leave space in heavy rain and take extra care when changing lanes on the motorway network.
