The short answer
Of the 10 car rental businesses we compare in Sydney, 7 say on their own website that they offer long term hire. Of those, 2 publish a weekly rate we could confirm, from $210 to $260 a week. Minimum term, where stated: Ryde Rentals (minimum 4 weeks). ZA Car Rental is the only one that states a bond: $500.
Long term car rental means hiring a car for weeks or months, usually at a weekly rate, instead of by the day. This page covers the independent operators in our Sydney comparison: who says they offer it and what they publish.
Everything below was read from each operator’s own website on 11 Oct 2026, and each row links to the page it came from. A rate appears only if we opened the page a second time and it still said the same thing.

“Not published” means the operator’s site does not say, so ask them. Each rate is a starting price: the kilometre allowance, the excess and what the week includes change the total.
7 of the 10 operators we compare in Sydney are in the table. We read the site of one more, and it does not say it offers long term hire. One has no website we could read. We left out one operator whose site we could not rely on. Being on this page does not change an operator’s place in the ranking.
Before you sign
Of the 7 Sydney operators in the table whose terms we could read, 6 do not state a bond and 6 do not state a minimum term for long term hire, so ask for both in writing. Also ask for the kilometre allowance, the insurance excess and whether rideshare or delivery work is allowed. Our guide to long term car rental in Australia has the full checklist, with the rates operators publish in other cities.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does long term car rental cost in Sydney?
- Weekly rates we could confirm run from $210 to $260. That covers 2 of the 7 operators that offer long term hire; the others do not publish one we could confirm, so ask for a quote that includes kilometres, bond and excess.
- Why do some operators show no rate?
- Either their site does not publish one, or we could not open the page a second time to confirm it. We only show a rate we read twice on the operator’s own site, and an operator that does not publish a rate is not saying it has none.
- Does appearing on this page change an operator’s place in the ranking?
- No. The Sydney ranking orders operators by Google rating weighted by review count. Whether an operator publishes a long term rate has no effect on it.
