Port Macquarie is a coastal town in northern New South Wales. It is nestled on a stretch of coastline that’s famous for having beautiful, quiet beaches that extend for kilometres in each direction. Taking advantage of car hire in Port Macquarie is the ideal way to take in everything the region has to offer. Hiring a car also opens up many great road trip options in the area, allowing you to head north and visit Crescent Head, venture south to Forster or drive inland to Tamworth.
Port Macquarie Airport (PQQ) is a small regional airport with just one terminal building that houses all arrivals and departures. In the arrivals area, you will find Port Macquarie car hire kiosks near the baggage-claim carousels. There are usually cars available at the airport for you to hire on the day of your arrival; however, if you’re after a specific type of vehicle, it’s a good idea to book online ahead of time. You can find cheap car hire in Port Macquarie through KAYAK.
Port Macquarie has a compact CBD, so many people walk and ride bikes around the town centre. This means you will encounter a lot of pedestrian traffic while driving around town, so it’s essential to keep your focus on the road and drive with caution. It’s also worth brushing up on the road rules for sharing the road with bicycles. If you head out of the town centre to explore the nearby beaches, it’s the local wildlife you’ll need to look out for, especially if you’re driving around sunrise/sunset or after dark.
There are only two roads leading into and out of Port Macquarie from the Pacific Highway: Oxley Highway and Hastings River Road. Flooding can be an issue in the region, particularly from December to March, and it’s not uncommon for sections of the Pacific Highway, Oxley Highway and Hastings Road to be closed. If you’re travelling during a time of heavy rainfall, it’s important to follow the announcements from Live Traffic NSW to ensure you avoid flooded roads and take the recommended routes.
If you’re a family travelling with children, note that you will need to follow all Australian car seat laws while using your Port Macquarie hire car. Children over the age of seven should use a booster seat until they are taller than 145 cm. From the age of four to seven, kids need a forward-facing child car seat or a booster seat that complies with Australian standards. If you have an infant (up to six months of age), you’ll need to secure the little one in a rear-facing car seat. To meet Australian Standard AS/NZS 1754, your car seat or booster will need the correct harness. If you’ll be flying into Port Macquarie and would rather travel light, you should be able to book child car seats, even with cheap car hire in Port Macquarie.
To hire a car in Port Macquarie, you must have a valid driver's licence and be at least 21 years old. Some Port Macquarie car hire companies may apply a surcharge to your hire if you're between the ages of 21 and 24. Known as a young driver surcharge, this fee can differ from company to company, so it’s a good idea to carefully read the policy conditions before making a reservation. If you’re a younger driver hoping to secure cheap car hire in Port Macquarie, you can compare the policies, surcharges and prices easily through KAYAK.
In Port Macquarie and its nearby areas, police frequently conduct random breath testing to ensure road safety. You must adhere to the New South Wales drunk driving laws to avoid penalties and keep yourself and other road users safe. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for drivers of cars and motorcycles in Port Macquarie is 0.05%, while for learners and provisional licence holders, it's 0.00%. Drink-driving offences come with severe consequences, including fines, licence suspension and sometimes even imprisonment. So, always stay within the legal BAC limit and avoid drink-driving in your hire car.
