Car Rental Newcastle Airport (NTL)

• Think outside the terminal. Picking up your car off-airport or in Newcastle city can be cheaper since they don't have airport surcharges. It might take a short shuttle or taxi ride, but the savings can be real.
• Play with your rental dates. If you need a car for 5 or 6 days, always check the price for a full 7-day week. You'd be surprised, but a weekly rate can sometimes be cheaper.
• Avoid high refuelling fees. Top up the tank yourself just before you return the car. There's a convenient petrol station on Nelson Bay Road, a couple of minutes from the airport.
• Don't leave it to the last minute. Compare options online 1-3 weeks before your trip to find better deals, especially for popular times like school holidays or long weekends in the Hunter Valley.
