Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Newcastle?
Fun road trip adventures await in Newcastle, with daily rental car rates starting from as little as AU$49. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Williamtown Airport (NTL)?
Rental cars at Williamtown Airport (NTL) are located at the arrivals end of the terminal. Here you'll be able to grab a set of wheels at Enterprise, Eropcar or Hertz. Thrifty and Avis also provide some exceptional deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my Newcastle car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before pickup, many prepaid bookings qualify for a complete refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with your home policy. Look over your itinerary for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Newcastle?
Ease of parking, affordability and excellent mileage are among the reasons compact vehicles are the top pick in Newcastle. Their small size makes them perfect for getting around the city. They're a great option for solo travellers, couples and families on a budget. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more space with a full-size or an intermediate. Need a little luxury? Browse our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Newcastle?
Everyone knows that Newcastle is one of the top getaways in New South Wales. But you'll also find many other terrific spots to explore when you book a vehicle and head out on the open road. We've pulled together a few suggestions to get your journey off to an exhilarating start:

  • You'll feel the spirit of a city bursting with life the moment you pull into Sydney. Some 121 kilometres from Newcastle, it has a ton of fantastic sights to see, like Sydney Opera House.
  • Another destination that's a hit with travellers is Wollongong, around 193 kilometres away. North Wollongong Beach is just one of many reasons people love visiting here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
Newcastle requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
Renting a car in Newcastle is a breeze. Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. After you've found a great set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements before pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Newcastle?
In Newcastle, all cars drive on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be mindful and focus while you're behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Newcastle?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in Newcastle, so don't hestitate to extend your stay! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Newcastle home suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25  be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
