Booking for a wine festival or a long weekend? Try to reserve your car a month or two in advance as the local fleet is small and popular dates sell out.
If your travel dates are flexible, rent your car from Monday to Thursday. You will often find better deals compared to the busy weekend period.
Pro tip: Fill up your fuel tank in Cessnock before you head out. Petrol stations in the vineyard areas can be pricier.
