Police are investigating three of the four fires, which happened in a period of just over 12 hours, starting on Thursday afternoon.
No one was injured in any of the incidents.
The first blaze happened on the Monaro Highway near the Johnson Drive exit at Tuggeranong, about 2.06pm on Thursday. An Emergency Services Agency spokeswoman said she did not have details of the incident, but an ACT Policing spokesman said officers attended and an investigation was underway.
At 7.18pm, a car caught fire after a two-vehicle crash on Canberra Avenue, near the Canberra Outlet Centre. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and police were not required at the scene, according to the ACT Policing spokesman.
Just one minute after firefighters responded to that fire, ACT Fire and Rescue was called to an incident in Dillon Close at Weston. The Emergency Services Agency spokeswoman said a car and quad bike had caught fire outside a home. Police are investigating the cause.
The fourth car fire happened near Domayne in Collie Street, Fyshwick, at 2.22am on Friday. The Emergency Services Agency spokeswoman said it appeared to involve an abandoned car. Police also attended.
"The circumstances surrounding the fires are still being investigated, but the incidents are not believed to be related," the ACT Policing spokesman said.
