It’s perfectly legal to book a hire car in Blacktown with a foreign driver’s licence; however, there are certain conditions you’ll need to meet. When picking up your vehicle, you must provide your passport and driver’s licence. If your licence is not in English, you’ll need to acquire an International Driver's Permit.

Blacktown doesn't have any restricted roads. However, if you intend to head out into the national parks, please note that most car hire companies don't allow their vehicles on unpaved roads.
