What types of cars can I rent in Chinatown?
Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it’s hard to beat a compact car — the number one choice in Chinatown. They’re easy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you’re driving around busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that won’t hurt your budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Chinatown?
With your own car, road-tripping around the surrounding areas is a cinch. Chinatown is a wonderful place to start, but there’s plenty more to see in the region. Pick up the keys to a home, toss your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other popular locations:

  • Boasting sights galore, Newcastle is around 121 kilometres from Chinatown. First stop of the day? Head on over to Newcastle Beach, one of this city’s highlights.
  • Wollongong, around 64 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Need some sightseeing inspiration? North Wollongong Beach is our first pick.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time in nature at Australian National Botanic Gardens. It’s approximately 241 kilometres from Chinatown.

Why should I rent a Chinatown car with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chinatown?
Drivers 21 and above can get on the road in Chinatown in a rental car. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also be required to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Chinatown?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets, generally the essentials are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chinatown?
In Chinatown and across Australia, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you’re used to. For a safer ride, take things slow at first and leave yourself extra time to reach your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chinatown?
Yes, and the awesome news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Chinatown and cruise off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Chinatown car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little research. Managed to find a Chinatown supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in will have all the details you need.
