Penrith is only 5km away from Sydney, and is a major commercial centre with numerous shopping complexes, the largest of which is Westfield Penrith, which has more than 3 shops, including some designer brands. Car hire in Penrith is a great way to see the greater Sydney area, which has a number of attractions including the Blue Mountains. We can recommend hiring a car in Penrith in order to make the most of the city, which offers white water rafting, dinner on a Paddlewheeler, and much more.

There are many attractions in Penrith, one of which is the old fashioned Paddlewheeler boat that goes up and down the Nepean River. On board you can enjoy fresh food and an award winning evening. We recommend hiring a car in Penrith in order to get to other attractions like the Museum of Fire, which is an amazing mix of the history of firefighting and fire safety tutorials. There is a kid's area where they can learn about fire safety and have fun. Penrith has a great road system, and renting a car will give you your independence as a visitor.

Penrith is close to Sydney in New South Wales, not far from the Blue Mountains. The mountains are famous for their beauty, and are named after the blue light that seems to be cast over them. The mountains are easily accessible by car, and there are lots of tours and walks - or if you fancy, a 4 Wheel Drive tour through the less accessible tracks. At the foot of the Blue Mountains is the white water rafting venue which hosted the kayak and slalom events at the 2000 Olympics. Test you mettle against the man-made white water course - sessions last 90 minutes, and will leave you wanting to come back for more.
