On average, car rentals in Sydney – Castle Hill cost around AUD $88.33 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $47.21 per day.
Pick up your car from an industrial area depot in Castle Hill instead of a fancy shopping centre or business park. They often have better rates and fewer location fees.
Don't overdo it on the car size. An economy car is fine for most driving around the Hills. And if you're renting for 5 or 6 days, check if a 7-day rental is cheaper per day. It often is.
If you're visiting during school holidays or a big event at the Showground, booking ahead is a smart move. Otherwise, business travel can bump up weekday prices, making a weekend rental a surprisingly good deal.
Save on extra costs once you're on the road. The M2 motorway has tolls, so plan your route. For fuel, use the NSW FuelCheck app to find cheaper petrol at independent stations along Windsor Road.
