Cessnock car hire

When considering car hire in Cessnock, it’s really up to you what you decide to get. Most types of vehicles will do fine in the town and on the surrounding roads. Unless you plan to really get off the beaten path, you won’t need an all-terrain vehicle and can opt for any kind of city car that suits your needs. Getting something that’s comfortable to drive and doesn’t guzzle fuel makes sense, the rest is really up to you and what your needs are.

Watch for signs posting the speed limit; there are many areas with specific speed limits and these can sometimes change, meaning you should prioritise reading the signs. In the town, the current speed limit in most areas is 50 km/h, but certain residential areas have lowered this to 40 km/h. The limits on most country roads are 60 km/h, but you should always pay attention to whatever is posted, as local councils do sometimes set new speed limits or create special speed zones. The good news is, these limits are always clearly sign-posted.

Parking in Cessnock is quite straightforward and most parking in town is free. There are also three paid car parks in town (including one which operates 24h) if you would prefer to park your car in a secure parking area, but there is generally no real hassle involved with parking in the street. Pay attention to clearly marked "no parking" areas, however, as parking violations are fined and there are a number of special zones where parking is forbidden or restricted. The good news is, such zones will be clearly sign-posted, making it very unlikely you will end up accidentally parking illegally.
