Common Questions about BusCharter.com.au’s Newcastle Bus Hire
How much does bus hire cost in Newcastle?
For Melbourne coach hire, you’re looking at rates between A$100 and A$160 per hour, or A$800 to A$1400 for the full day. Minibus hire is a bit cheaper, usually costing A$60 to A$110 per hour, or A$500 to A$800 daily. Keep in mind these prices are just estimates. The final cost depends on the specific trip details, like the time of day, which day of the week you’re travelling, and the area you need to cover.
Hunter Valley wine tours? That’s totally our jam! We handle the transportation to more than 150 wineries in the Hunter region, including big names like Tyrrell Wines, Brokenwood, McGuigan, and Tempus Two. Our professional drivers know the area inside and out, so you’re guaranteed a safe, totally hassle-free tasting experience.
Our bus hire network covers the entire Hunter Region. We run regular services to Newcastle CBD, Honeysuckle, the Hunter Valley (Pokolbin, Lovedale), Port Stephens, Maitland, and Lake Macquarie. We also include transfers to Newcastle Airport and the Cruise Terminal.
Absolutely! We can offer shore excursions right from the Newcastle Cruise Terminal.
