Exploring the Blue Mountains: A Weekend Escape from Sydney
Jake and Nina, a young couple from Melbourne, flew into Sydney for a long weekend and picked up a YesDrive rental straight from the airport. Their goal? Fresh air, scenic views, and the peace of nature.
They headed west to the Blue Mountains, just a two-hour drive from Sydney. “Having our own car made all the difference,” Jake said. “We stopped at lookouts that weren’t on the main tourist route and even packed a picnic for Echo Point.”
Travel tip: If you’re hiring a car in Sydney, plan your escape to the Blue Mountains during the week to avoid peak traffic. YesDrive offers compact and fuel-efficient vehicles perfect for city exits and winding mountain roads.
Tasmania’s East Coast Adventure: From Hobart to Wineglass Bay
Sarah, a solo traveller from the UK, rented a YesDrive car in Hobart to explore Tasmania at her own pace. With just five days, she made the most of it.
“The drive to Wineglass Bay was stunning,” she shared. “I stopped in little towns like Swansea and Bicheno. Having a reliable car made me feel confident exploring solo.”
From scenic coastal drives to wildlife encounters, Tasmania is a dream destination—and YesDrive’s Hobart rental options make it easy to hit the road with zero hassle.
Travel tip: Opt for an SUV if you’re planning to explore off-the-beaten-track areas in Tasmania. YesDrive Hobart offers a wide range of vehicles suited for both comfort and adventure.
City Hopping and Surf Chasing in New South Wales
Three uni mates from Brisbane—Leo, Cam, and Josh—flew into Sydney, rented a YesDrive van, and set off on a surfing road trip down the NSW South Coast.
“We had boards, bags, and way too many snacks,” Cam laughed. “The van gave us space, and we could crash in little beach towns like Mollymook and Narooma.”
Travel tip: For group travel, YesDrive’s vans and larger vehicles are ideal. Look for locations with secure overnight parking and book accommodation in advance during peak seasons.
Local Explorers: Rediscovering Hidden Gems Close to Home
Emily and Tom, Sydney locals, decided to explore their own backyard with a YesDrive weekend hire. They ventured to the Southern Highlands, stopping in Bowral for brunch, Fitzroy Falls for a scenic walk, and Kangaroo Valley for a night away.
“We usually rely on public transport, but this gave us total freedom,” Emily said. “We’re already planning our next trip to the Hunter Valley.”
Travel tip: Even short trips can feel like a vacation with the right mindset (and a comfy car). YesDrive offers flexible weekend rates and fast pick-up options for spontaneous adventures.
Travel Tips for Your YesDrive Adventure
Whether you’re a tourist or a local, here are some tips to make the most of your YesDrive rental:
Plan your route but leave room for spontaneity—some of the best stops aren’t on the map.
Check the weather, especially if heading into mountain or coastal regions.
Pack light but don’t forget chargers, water, and a playlist for the road.
Use Google Maps offline in case you lose signal in remote areas.
Return your vehicle fuelled and clean to avoid extra fees (YesDrive makes returns easy, with drop-off locations in Sydney and Hobart).
