Canberra is a city packed with things to see and do and a rental car will help you pack the most into your visit. You can pick up your hire car at Canberra airport or in Canberra city. To get to the city from the airport without driving yourself will cost you about $25 AUD in a cab or $9 AUD in a shuttle - and at least 20 minutes or your valuable time in this most historic of Australian cities. Once you are underway you can visit the National Museum and National Gallery, get a dose of democracy at Australian Parliament House or visit the War memorial; all within 10 minutes in a cheap rental car.

Canberra is also at the doorstep of a plethora of unforgettable locations and experiences. For wine lovers, basing yourself in Canberra means that a rental car can have you at one or all of Canberra's 33+ wineries in under 40 minutes. Driving towards the coast, on the other hand, gives you access to some of the most pristine coast of the Australian mainland. Head north, and you come across Ulladulla and Sussex Inlet, seaside towns with the vibe and beaches to match. Head south, and Bateman's Bay will greet you and your rental car on your way down into untouched coastline of Southern NSW - perfect for surfing, picnicking, moving between B&B's, or just watching the sunset from a sand dune.

In short, setting yourself up in Canberra with a rental car puts you within easy driving distance of the local sights and sounds, as well as a number of thriving small towns full of food, wine and art well worth the effort of visiting.
