Car Rental Prices

How much does it cost to rent a car in Newcastle?

On average, car rentals in Newcastle cost around AUD $105.75 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals available from AUD $28.28 per day.

How to save?
  • Pick up your car in the city, not the airport. City locations in Newcastle are often 10-15% cheaper because they don't have extra airport fees.

  • Visiting during a peak time like school holidays or the Supercars event? Booking ahead can lock in a better rate before the cheapest cars are all gone.

  • Go for a smaller car. A compact is not only cheaper to rent but also sips less fuel and is way easier to park on busy streets like Darby Street.

  • Compare weekend rates carefully. Sometimes, picking up from a city depot on a Friday afternoon can unlock a special weekend package deal.
