East Coast Car Rentals Newcastle Supporting Regional Destinations with 13th Location Opening
Voted Australia’s Best Car Rental Service for another consecutive year, East Coast Car Rentals is excited to be supporting the growing needs and future development of regional Australia with the official opening of their newest location in Newcastle.
“This exciting new venture provides a fresh opportunity to showcase our award-winning services to leisure travellers seeking to explore the beautiful city and its surrounds and to support the local community and businesses of Newcastle,” says Sales Director and long-time local, Roberto Mignanelli.
“Whether visiting family, recommencing business-related travel, or purely leisure, we are witnessing a continued strong and steady increase in demand for rental cars across all 13 of our locations,” adds CEO Dan Kearney.
“It is essential we continue to support the growth of both city and regional destinations throughout Australia. It is an important initiative and a key focus as we continue our growth into 2023 and beyond, especially as the international market ramps up.”
“Over the past 12 months, we have nearly doubled our car rental fleet – a successful feat that has not come easy given the current climate faced in buying new vehicles. We have grown from 150 to 250 employees nationwide, branched into commercial vehicles and car subscription, and opened three new branches in 2022, including Newcastle.”
East Coast Car Rentals brings a welcome range of services, including Car Subscription and tailored Corporate Car Rental plans to help ease the difficulties with purchasing new or used cars, with wait periods on some makes and models exceeding 18 months.
The recent expansion into Newcastle is in direct response to the growing leisure and corporate car rental demand and is reflective of the wider success story and achievements of the company.
“Expanding into new locations strengthens our commitment to supporting domestic and international travel throughout regional Australia, and there’s no slowing down,” says Roberto.
East Coast Car Rentals is a locally owned business operating out of Australia and New Zealand, offering a brand new fleet, including Utes and Electric Vehicles, amongst the new range of family-size SUVs and economical runabouts. East Coast Car Rentals Newcastle is located at 849 Hunter Street, Newcastle West. Ph: 1800 028 881.
