Planning to drive from Sydney to Port Macquarie? If you need the flexibility of having your own transportation, then why not consider hiring a car to get you from Sydney to Newcastle? Car Rental Buddy has partnered with a few suppliers who can offer cost-effective one way car hire deals.
The following car hire companies have car hire depots in both Sydney and Port Macquarie, and offer one way car hire.
The quickest route is along the M1 highway, which will take you along the eastern coast. The quickest route will take 4h and 23 minutes and is a distance of 383km. However, locals recommend that you allow 6 hours for the commute. There's also alternate routes available, if you want to consider taking tourist routes that travel inland. These alternate routes can take 6-9h.
You can use the map below to plan your travel route.
The driving length and time between the two cities are fairly short for Australian standards. It is a nice drive from Sydney's city centre and will allow you to pass through a few of New South Wales' natural landmarks.
We've provided a table below that will help you compare the value between each transportation mode.
