The short answer
Of the 4 operators on our Newcastle list, 2 say on their own website that they offer long term hire. Of those, one publishes a weekly rate we could confirm: Velo Car Hire, from $262.27 a week (plus GST, 3-month minimum; its booking page quoted more for the same car). Minimum term, where stated: Velo Car Hire (3 months). Bonds, where stated, run from $500 to $1,000, with conditions that differ by operator.
Long term car rental means hiring a car for weeks or months, usually at a weekly rate, instead of by the day. This page covers the independent operators in our Newcastle comparison: who says they offer it and what they publish.
Everything below was read from each operator’s own website on 3 Nov 2026, and each row links to the page it came from. A rate appears only if we opened the page a second time and it still said the same thing.
Who offers long term hire in Newcastle
| Operator | Rate | Minimum term | Bond | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Velo Car Hire | from $262.27/week (plus GST, 3-month minimum; its booking page quoted more for the same car) | 3 months | $1,000 | velohire.com.au, read 3 Nov 2026 |
| Cardiff Rent-A-Car | No weekly rate published | Not published | $500 | cardiffrentacar.com.au, read 3 Nov 2026 |
“Not published” means the operator’s site does not say, so ask them. Each rate is a starting price: the kilometre allowance, the excess and what the week includes change the total.
2 of the 4 operators on our Newcastle list are in the table. We read the sites of 2 more, and they do not say they offer long term hire. Being on this page does not change an operator’s place in the ranking.
Before you sign
Of the 2 Newcastle operators in the table whose terms we could read, 0 do not state a bond and 1 does not state a minimum term for long term hire, so ask for both in writing. Where a bond is stated it runs from $500 to $1,000, so ask what decides your amount and when it comes back. Also ask for the kilometre allowance, the insurance excess and whether rideshare or delivery work is allowed. Our guide to long term car rental in Australia has the full checklist, with the rates operators publish in other cities.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does long term car rental cost in Newcastle?
- The one weekly rate we could confirm is $262.27 (plus GST, 3-month minimum; its booking page quoted more for the same car). That covers 1 of the 2 operators that offer long term hire; the others do not publish one we could confirm, so ask for a quote that includes kilometres, bond and excess.
- Why do some operators show no rate?
- Either their site does not publish one, or we could not open the page a second time to confirm it. We only show a rate we read twice on the operator’s own site, and an operator that does not publish a rate is not saying it has none.
- Does appearing on this page change an operator’s place in the ranking?
- No. The Newcastle ranking orders operators by Google rating weighted by review count. Whether an operator publishes a long term rate has no effect on it.
