About Car hire for day trips
The Blue Mountains and Canberra are easy by train, but the Hunter Valley wineries, the Southern Highlands and the Grand Pacific Drive to the Sea Cliff Bridge are best by car; the international hire firms have desks at Sydney Airport.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Car hire for day trips before you go.
