Are you flying into Newcastle?
Consider collecting your vehicle from the airport. We work with a range of car hire providers at Newcastle Airport (NTL).
The speed limit in most areas of Newcastle generally sits between 60km/h and 70km/h, though be aware of the many 40km/h school zones across the city. Always drive to the signposted speed limit and conditions of the road.
Due to the condensed nature of Newcastle’s layout, getting from place to place is relatively easy, and busy traffic won’t be a worry except during morning and evening peak times.
Be sure to check the parking signs for time limits along popular strips like Darby Street, Beaumont Street, and Newcastle Foreshore to avoid parking tickets.
Planning to get a one-way car rental for an interstate trip? You can book a hire car in Newcastle and return it to another location. Just untick the “Return to the same location” option in our search form and select your preferred return location.
For a smooth, quick drive out to the Hunter Valley and surrounding towns, head out via Wallsend and follow Newcastle Link Road onto the recently constructed Hunter Expressway.
Newcastle’s best fuel prices can be found using our free fuel price comparison app.
