A suite of Australia’s leading car rental agencies have signed on to operate out of the Western Sydney International Airport (WSI).
Travellers will be able to choose from a broad range of cars and rental options across five rental agencies including Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, and Redspot.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Western Sydney International Airport and be part of this transformational project from the very beginning,” Avis Budget Group Australia Managing Director Pacific Thomas Mooney said.
“This partnership represents a significant opportunity to support the growth of western Sydney while continuing to deliver convenient, reliable and innovative mobility solutions for travellers across Australia.
“Western Sydney International Airport will play a critical role in connecting communities, creating jobs and driving economic growth and we are proud that Avis Budget Group will be alongside the airport on this journey.”
WSI CEO Simon Hickey said the appointment of car rental partners is another way customers can enjoy choice and flexibility at the new 24-hour airport.
“At WSI, we’re rethinking the airport experience from the ground up and that includes how customers access car hire when they arrive or depart,” he said.
“Our car rental offering has been designed around convenience, choice, and simplicity giving travellers access to leading global brands through a seamless experience.
“WSI will serve as a gateway to some of Australia’s most popular driving holiday destinations including the Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands.
“For visitors looking to explore Sydney and beyond, having convenient access to rental vehicles from the moment they arrive will make it easier to discover these iconic regions by road.”
Each of the major brands will have a kiosk inside the terminal, serving both pre-booked and walk-up customers, allowing travellers to easily arrange transport on arrival.
The vehicle collection will be in P1 within a short two-to-three-minute walk from the terminal.
Bookings will open via the participating operators’ websites in the coming months with further information also set to be published on the WSI website ahead of passenger services commencing in October.
Hertz APAC Vice President Damien Shaw was excited to begin operations at WSI.
“Having a presence at Western Sydney International Airport represents an important step in Hertz’s continued investment in Australia’s transport infrastructure and evolving mobility needs,” Shaw said.
“We will play a key role in supporting passenger movements from day one of operations, offering convenient and reliable transport solutions.”
