KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Maitland
- With Maitland car hire, you can take a tour of the wineries in Hunter Valley, which does not have public transport. There are also some great overnight trips around the Maitland area that you can jump in your car and go to. To be able to access certain destinations, you may have to change modes of transport a few times; for example, bus, train, back to a bus and then still have to walk the rest of the way. If time is precious to you, then hiring a car makes sense, as you can get to the destination of choice at the best time and choose a route with a view or a stop for lunch.
- If you’re planning a car hire in Maitland, you can easily pick up a car from the airport. The airport sits on the outskirts of the city, and it’s a long way into the centre of town. With a hire car, you can throw your bags in and unwind in your own space without waiting around. The cars can be hired at Terminal 1 and picked up/dropped off on site at the airport. There are a few companies who operate just outside the airport, but you will need transport to get to them.
- For anyone unfamiliar with the road rules with a car hire in Maitland: when you enter a roundabout, you must give way to those already on the roundabout. If you are going left, you stay in the left lane and right lane for turning right; you also must indicate where you are going whilst on and coming off the roundabout. If you are going straight ahead, you don't need to indicate at all. You cannot make a U-turn at the traffic lights unless there is a sign that says ‘U-turn allowed’.
- Maitland is still growing in population and so a lot of infrastructure, such as roads, are being changed all the time; this means you will find roadworks around. If you are bringing your own sat-nav, you may need to update it to the latest version due to the rapid changes to routes.

Car hire insurance in Maitland
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Maitland car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Maitland.
