Answer
Nope! Most guests won’t need one. But if you do, please note: Sydney drives on the left side of the road. Parking can be difficult and expensive. Road laws are very strict. Even 1km over the speed limit can result in a hefty fine. Uber and public transportation are easy and reliable. Rental cars are mainly useful if you’re planning day trips outside the city.

Most U.S. phones work in Australia. You can use your carrier’s international plan, get an eSIM, or buy a SIM card at the airport. You can also connect to WiFi at most places.
