Getting Out & About in Canberra

Canberra is the governmental heart of Australia and home to huge, multinational businesses. Many of our customers are regulars, in town on business trips, whether that be a flying visit or a long stay. Driving is certainly the most popular option for transport, but outside of rush hours, traffic is really not a concern.

Hiring a car in Canberra also opens up your options for fun and adventure! A lot of Australians fly into Canberra airport and pick up their car from here as they are then able to head right on to the Snowy Mountains during ski season. Cut out needless hours on the road and hit the slopes with all your gear! If you’re not much of a skier, head out to the mountains in the summer months for camping, bushwalking or cycling. Another standout natural land formation to stop by is the incredible Yarrangobilly Caves. The splendid limestone caves can be explored for hours but only in the day. Alternatively, pack up the car and head to the coast to

Good experience all round thanks. Pick-up and return were easy and plenty of good information was provided about the vehicle type. We hired an EV which was our first experience in one, and we were given good advice about driving and charging the vehicle. We really enjoyed our first EV experience as well. I would definitely recommend SIXT Car Rental for your vehicle needs.
