Car Hire in Newcastle

We can offer information on car hire companies in Newcastle that cater for small groups of 1 or 2 people who require small economical cars, to entire families with brand new Toyota Camrys and people movers.

Newcastle is Australia’s sixth largest city and 2 hours drive north of Sydney.

Newcastle has some of Australia’s best beaches - Nobbys, Dixon Park, Newcastle, Bar, Merewether and Stockton Beaches which are all close to the city centre.

Newcastle is a good place to base yourself for visiting the Hunter Valley with your car rental vehicle  and also the great beaches not far from the city..

Newcastle is also home to a large working harbour, the entrance to which is guarded by Nobbys Lighthouse and Breakwater. The adjacent foreshore area is the perfect place to while away the hours watching the busy harbour traffic while enjoying a drink or meal in one of the harbourside cafes, bars or restaurants.

Carhireinnewcastle.com is a car rental site which will give you the best chance to save money on your next rent a car deal.

Keep in mind the following when choosing your next car hire.

• Your car rental company must declare a total cost.
  All car hire companies must now state a total cost of your hire including all admin fees, airport fees etc etc.
• Determine the extent of your damage liability in the case of an accident.
  This varies depending on the car rental company - you may generally reduce the amount of your damage liability at an additional cost. This is sometime expensive and travel insurance may even cover this.
• How many kilometres a day can I do free in the rental vehicle.
  Once again this does vary a great deal - usually from 50kms a day to unlimited. Make sure you have enough kilometres at the commencement of the car hire because it will cost you considerably more if you do excess kilometres during your hire.
• Cheap advertised deals
  Be wary of cheap deals advertised in the press and online. The cheap deal advetised may not include all kinds of ad-ons, such as registration fee, airport location fee etc. Make sure you obtain the "total cost" of the hire to avoid any doubt. Companies such as Seega Car Rentals always quote total cost in their email and online quotes. 

Car Hiring Tips

• Check the vehicle for damage.
  Always check the vehicle for damage prior to driving the vehicle away. That way you know exactly what damage, if any, is existing and not your responsibility.

• You will generally need a credit card to hire a vehicle.
  The credit card is another form of identification and most car rental companies will require that an imprint of your card is included on the contract. Whilst this may seem a little restrictive you must remember that they are handing over a vehicle worth quite a lot of money to a complete stranger.
• Fuel level
  Make sure that you fill the rental car to the same level when you return it to the car hire company. Always check the level when you hire the car and ensure that it is recorded on the hire agreement.
