Top tips for hiring a car at Newcastle Williamtown airport
- When you get a car hire at Newcastle Williamtown Airport (NTL), you get more flexibility to travel to the centre of the city and other locations compared to alternative transport methods. With a hire car, you are able to go directly to your destination without having to potentially make transfers on public transport. For example, you can drive to the nearby town of Maitland directly in about 35min from the airport, whereas, if you were to get public transport, you’d have to change from the Number 130 to the Hunter Line at Newcastle Interchange, with the journey also being much longer, at about 1h 40min.
- Newcastle Williamtown Airport has a range of car hire companies, such as SIXT, Europcar and Budget, so it’s easy to find your perfect vehicle. The car companies are located in the terminal building. SIXT is about 100 metres east of the arrivals area. After you have completed the documentation at the desk, you will be taken out to the main car park, which is shared with all the car hire companies, to get your car.
- When it comes to dropping off your car hire at Newcastle Williamtown Airport, you’ll see that it’s well signposted. Start by following Nelson Bay Road towards Williamtown, from where you will see signposts for the airport. You will then need to turn onto Williamtown Drive, where the airport is located. You will drop the hire car off in the same car park you picked it up, using the signposted bays from each provider.
- Most of the Newcastle Williamtown Airport car hire agencies provide comprehensive opening hours, so you will be able to collect and drop off your car at a time convenient for you. For instance, SIXT is generally open from 07:00-21:00 on weekdays, 07:00-15:00 on Saturdays and 10:00-18:00 on Sundays and bank holidays. For those that need to return the vehicle outside of opening hours, you need to let the company know beforehand, and then park in the available bays and drop the keys in the after-hours key box.
- Book your car hire at Newcastle Williamtown airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
