Newcastle Car & Truck Rental – Maitland is a locally owned commercial vehicle hire branch at 16 Johnson Street, Maitland NSW 2320, sitting between Telarah, Rutherford and the Maitland CBD and just off the New England Highway. From this yard we look after Maitland, East Maitland, Thornton, Metford, Ashtonfield, Lorn, Bolwarra, Largs, Morpeth, Aberglasslyn, Gillieston Heights, Lochinvar, Greta, Branxton, Kurri Kurri, Cessnock, Singleton, Beresfield, Raymond Terrace and the wider Hunter Valley. Our focus is working vehicles: moving trucks and pantechs with hydraulic tailgate lifters, long wheelbase vans, single and dual cab utes, tipper utes and tipper trucks, tool box, canopy, caged and ladder rack utes, 2WD and 4WD site-ready vehicles and trailers, backed by cars, SUVs, minibuses and people movers when you need them.
A Hunter business, built here since 1999
The company began in Newcastle in 1999 and has stayed independently owned ever since, run day to day by the people who own it rather than a national franchise desk. Owner Todd Holden has more than twenty years in the car and truck rental trade, and Operations Manager Matthew Bartley brings close to two decades of his own. Across the business we have completed over 150,000 hires for more than 5,000 customers and covered upwards of 15 million kilometres. The Maitland branch was opened to bring that same fleet and the same people closer to the Hunter Valley, so contractors and families west of the city no longer have to drive to Newcastle to collect a truck. Our Argenton (Glendale) yard remains a short run down the M1, and vehicles move between the two sites when a job needs something specific.
Commercial hire for Hunter Valley work
Builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, removalists, couriers, winery and event operators, mine and civil contractors, councils and fleet managers hire from Johnson Street every week. Our moving trucks run from a 6 cubic metre LWB van to a 6.5 tonne pantech, and most are automatic and legal on a standard Australian car licence. They come air conditioned, fitted with internal tie rails and supplied with a 500kg hydraulic lifter, so pallets, whitegoods and furniture load safely without a ramp or a third pair of hands. Utes are available in 2WD and 4WD with trays, tubs, drop sides, canopies, tool boxes, cages, ladder racks and tow bars, and our site-ready units arrive set up to roll straight onto a construction or mine site. Hire daily, weekly, monthly or long term, and talk to us about project vehicles, fleet overflow, replacement units while your own truck is being repaired, and one-way or interstate moves.
Service and the customer journey
Hiring a vehicle should be the easiest part of your day. Request an online quote and book in minutes, or call the Maitland branch on (02) 4005 6160 and speak to someone who knows every vehicle on the lot. You will deal with the same familiar faces each time – no overseas call centre and no script. Before you commit we help you match the vehicle to the job so you can finish in one load rather than three, and we set out rates, inclusions, kilometre allowances, fuel and damage liability plainly and in advance. At collection we walk you around the vehicle, demonstrate the tail lift and answer whatever you need to ask. Roadside assistance backs every hire, and Sunday to Thursday bookings unlock our discounted mid-week rates. Returns are quick and straightforward. Our Maitland customers have rated the branch 5.0 stars on Google.
