KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lismore

  • Car hire in Lismore is the best way to get around, as there are no trains or trams operating to connect you within or outside of Lismore. There are local bus services; however, they have limited routes and times, so having your own vehicle is a great way to ensure you get the most out of your time in Lismore. The trip from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) to Lismore is almost half the time if travelling by car instead of by bus.
  • Your arrival into Lismore would be via Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, with multiple car hire offices on site. The airport is small, so you will easily find hire car companies as soon as you exit the arrivals area. Be sure to bring your licence, credit card and confirmation of your booking to the hire office. There are shuttle services to and from the airport if you have arranged to collect your car hire in Lismore.
  • Driving in Lismore is far less stressful than some other bigger cities. Generally, you will not have too much trouble with pedestrians or traffic, as while it is a popular place to visit, it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. If you are from interstate or overseas, be sure to have a look at New South Wales road rules to be clear on any differences they may have to your own location’s certain intersection or other road laws.
  • As Lismore is further inland from the popular coastal region, the traffic during your journey to and from the coast doesn’t usually have too many variants for peak hours like the bigger cities do. There are multiple roads into Lismore, which may be what helps lower the potential delays. Bad weather and accidents can, of course, occasionally cause delays.
  • Small rental cars in Lismore are around 39% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Lismore

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Lismore?

    Lismore car hire calls for a vehicle that’s comfortable for longer drives and has air conditioning to help with the usually warm climate. A small or compact car hire in Lismore is more than sufficient, but if your travel plans include adventuring further into any of the small New South Wales towns or national parks, you may want to opt for a 4WD, as you may come across the occasional unsealed road. Ultimately, there’s no specific requirement for anything other than what vehicle you’d like to drive while seeing Lismore.

  • What’s the speed limit in Lismore?

    Speed limits across New South Wales and Australia have a few variants and sometimes change often during your journey, and fast.

Usually the limit will be 40 km/h in busy or school areas, whereas other residential or rural roads can range from 50 km/h to 80 km/h.
