Newcastle Car & Truck Rental – Argenton is a locally owned, locally run commercial vehicle hire specialist serving Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the greater Hunter region. Operating from 418 Lake Road, Argenton – minutes from Glendale, Cardiff, Boolaroo, Speers Point and the M1 – our branch is stocked for real work: moving trucks and pantech trucks with hydraulic tailgate lifters, long wheelbase vans, single cab and dual cab utes, tipper utes and tipper trucks, tool box and canopy utes, caged and ladder rack utes, 2WD and 4WD site-ready vehicles, trailers, and a supporting range of cars, SUVs, minibuses and people movers.
Our story
We opened our doors in 1999 and, more than 27 years on, we are still independently owned and still run day to day by the people who own the business. Owner Todd Holden has spent over two decades in the car and truck rental industry, and Operations Manager Matthew Bartley brings close to twenty years of his own. We buy our stock locally, we employ people from the suburbs we serve, and together our team has completed more than 150,000 hires for over 5,000 customers, covering in excess of 15 million kilometres of Australian road. A second Hunter branch at Maitland now supports the Argenton fleet, so vehicles and support are never far away.
Commercial vehicles that earn their keep
Tradespeople, builders, landscapers, removalists, couriers, event crews, construction and mine-site contractors, councils and fleet managers all hire from Argenton. Our moving trucks range from a 6 cubic metre LWB van up to a 6.5 tonne pantech, and most can be driven on a standard Australian car licence. They are automatic, air conditioned, fitted with internal tie rails and supplied with a 500kg hydraulic lifter, so a two-person crew can load a full household or a pallet of stock without a ramp. Utes come 2WD or 4WD, with trays, tubs, drop sides, canopies, tool boxes, cages, ladder racks and tow bars. Site-ready vehicles arrive set up and compliant, ready to drive straight onto a job. Hire by the day, the weekend, the week, the month or long term, and ask about one-way and interstate moves, fleet overflow, project vehicles and replacement units while your own truck is off the road.
The customer experience comes first
We know a hire vehicle is never the point – the job is. Our entire process is built to get you moving quickly and back to work without drama. Get an instant online quote and book in a few minutes, or call (02) 4908 1081 and talk to a real person who knows the fleet. You will speak to the same familiar faces every time: no call centre, no script, no different consultant each visit. Before you book we will help you choose the right size vehicle so you can do the job in one trip instead of three, and we explain rates, inclusions, kilometre allowances, fuel and damage liability clearly and up front. At handover we walk you around the vehicle, show you how the tail lift works and answer every question. Every hire is backed by roadside assistance, and mid-week bookings from Sunday to Thursday unlock our discounted off-peak rates. When you return, the process is quick, courteous and transparent. That care is reflected in a 4.8-star average from close to 500 Google reviews.
