You'll need to carry with you your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What kind of Hertz rental car should I get for my trip to Newcastle?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Newcastle. Economy or compact cars are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a touch of luxury on their Newcastle vacation can choose a higher-end model like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Australia require car insurance?

In Australia you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many of the major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) usually provide some coverage. But many of them have prohibitions, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Newcastle. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Hertz?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with a full tank. If you return the rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to triple the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Hertz.

Newcastle definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Hertz?

Hertz typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental at another location. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you opt for one-way.
