NSW Driving Experiences

In NSW, you’ll find everything from V8 racing at Sydney Motorsport Park to quad biking over Port Stephens’ famous sand dunes. Popular options include luxury car hire in Sydney, rally driving near Newcastle, and outdoor go-karting on the Central Coast.

Take the scenic route, driving a convertible Mustang over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and see the hottest landmarks in the city.

For something a little unusual, why not take a ride in a traditional black cab like the Londoners do? Not only does this experience include an hour-long ride around Sydney, but it also comes with a meal, whether you choose traditional British fare or can’t resist the lure of British Indian food.

If you prefer a classic look, take a scenic ride in a 1956 MGA.

Victoria Driving Experiences

Victoria is home to legendary racing tracks like Sandown Raceway and a variety of thrilling packages. Try rally driving in the Yarra Valley, stunt driving in Melbourne, or experience the elegance of a Ferrari hire along the Mornington Peninsula.

If you’ve ever had dreams of hitting the open road in a van, heading to the beach for a day of surfing, you can make that dream a reality by renting a 1974 VW Kombi. Hire the van for the entire day for up to eight people and take advantage of the picnic rug and cooler bag provided.

If you know someone who’s learning how to drive or would like to brush up on their current skills, a defensive driving course is a great way to prepare for any eventuality on the road. You can’t control what anyone else does on the road, but you can increase your skills to counter bad drivers.

Alternatively, climb into a convertible Mustang for the ride of your life!

Why not put a twist on your driving experience? Take a day trip to Tangalooma, spend your afternoon riding on the back of a quad, and get a chance to feed dolphins! This experience has everything.

Explore the Granite Belt in a 1960 Morris Minor, with an itinerary that includes food, wine, and attractions.

You definitely don’t want to miss out on an experience at The Bend Motorsport Park; it’s one of the best facilities in Australia.

 Hop in the buggy and take off to Kangaroo Island to explore with a guide at the wheel. Your guide will take you on a tour of the island and give you the opportunity to get a closer look at koalas.

For a driving experience that comes with food, look no further than this fork and grape safari tour with a three-course lunch. A chauffeur will drive you everywhere you need to be as you explore the Fleurieu Peninsula. There’s also a 3.5-hour trike tour of the Barossa Valley that includes a selection of wines to taste, soft cheese tasting, and gourmet tasters.

Western Australia Driving Experiences

As Australia’s largest state, Western Australia is teeming with action! Drift at Perth’s Barbagallo Raceway, earn your Formula Ford racing stripes at Wanneroo, or get a better look at Bakers Hill in a rally car; there’s something for everyone, whether you prefer a city circuit or an outback trail.

Embark on a two-hour trike tour for two through Broome, including the Peninsula and the Scenic Historical Town. There’s plenty to see, and this is a unique opportunity to see a stunning location from a different perspective.

There’s a lot to love about Perth, but there’s no better way to explore the city than behind the wheel of a Corvette Stingray? This beauty from 1975 is the ideal vehicle to get you from iconic landmarks to the hottest cafes in town.
