Spacious, Comfortable and Ready for the Long Haul

More Room for Passengers and Gear
One of the biggest perks of renting an SUV is space. Whether you’re loading up suitcases for a holiday, surfboards for a beach trip, or groceries from a weekend market, an SUV gives you plenty of room without compromising on comfort.

SUVs also offer more legroom and headspace, making them ideal for long drives around Hobart’s winding coastal roads or Sydney’s scenic Blue Mountains route. Families with kids or groups of friends will especially appreciate the breathing room during extended road trips.

Built for Comfort
Modern SUVs are designed for all-day comfort. Features like adjustable seating, high driving positions, and smooth suspension make navigating urban streets or country highways a pleasure. Plus, with built-in tech like USB ports, navigation, and climate control, it’s easy to stay connected and comfortable on the go.


Ideal for Australia’s Diverse Terrain

Handle Any Road with Confidence
From the gravel trails of Tasmania’s wilderness to the coastal routes of New South Wales, Australia offers a wide range of driving conditions. SUVs provide the ground clearance and traction you need to handle them all confidently.

Heading to Cradle Mountain in Tasmania? Exploring the Royal National Park south of Sydney? With an SUV, you’re not limited to just sealed roads. You get a versatile vehicle that’s ready for adventure.

Better Visibility and Safety
Sitting higher up means better visibility on the road—great for spotting kangaroos, road signs, or that breathtaking lookout you don’t want to miss. SUVs also tend to come with more safety features like lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and multiple airbags, giving you added peace of mind no matter where you’re headed.


Perfect for All Seasons and Weather

Winter Road Trips? No Problem.
Thinking about hitting the snow in Tasmania or the Southern Highlands? SUVs are perfect for winter travel. With available all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive options, they handle slippery roads better than smaller vehicles. Pack up your gear and head to the snowfields knowing your ride can handle whatever the weather throws at you.

Beat the Heat in Style
During Australia’s summer months, comfort is key. SUVs offer excellent air conditioning systems and plenty of space to stretch out—making them perfect for long drives to Hobart’s beaches or exploring the coastal gems along the Grand Pacific Drive from Sydney.

Local Travel Tips from YesDrive

  • In Sydney: Don’t miss a drive through the Royal National Park or a day trip to the Blue Mountains. Both are ideal for SUV travel thanks to the winding roads and scenic stops.

  • In Hobart: Head up to Mount Wellington for incredible views, or take your SUV to the Huon Valley for wine, cider, and fresh local produce.

  • Fuel Up Smart: Fuel prices can vary between urban and regional areas. Fill up before heading out on longer drives, especially in Tasmania’s more remote regions.

  • Plan Your Parking: SUVs are easy to drive but can be bulkier to park. Look for accommodations with parking or use apps to find suitable spots, especially in busy areas like Sydney’s CBD or Hobart’s waterfront.
