This is what our renters are saying…
“I can't recommend the experience of renting Ian's Model 3 enough. He was incredibly knowledgeable and generous with his time and advice about the vehicle and EV ownership generally. The car was immaculate and the driving experience superb. Ian is also conveniently located near the train line which made picking up the car a breeze”

“ I hired Ian’s Tesla model 3 for a weekend away to Gloucester with my two kids (10 and 11 years old). The process of signing up to evee.com.au was easy. Reducing the excess on the insurance to zero (!) via RentalCover was also very easy, quick and surprisingly cheap. Ian was very helpful and responsive to answering several questions. The kids were initially more excited than me about hiring a “real Tesla”. We all had great fun with the car. The kids loved playing video games in the car on the large screen in the dashboard while the car was parked. The Tesla 3 was very pleasant and fun to drive once I got used to it, which didn’t take long. The acceleration of the Tesla is mind-blowing and the silence inside is very pleasant. My own car felt noisy afterwards … Although not strictly needed (this car has enough range), we ended up charging it a bit in Gloucester (for free!) just for the experience – while we were having fun doing other things - which was almost just as easy as charging my phone at home. I will hire from Ian again. Highly recommended!”

“Last week I hired Ian's BYD Atto 3 while my car was out of action. I need a reliable car for work everyday and this time decided to test out an EV. First off - booking via this platform. It was simple, quick and organising insurance was just as easy. Ian was very helpful organising pickup and also the end of day drop off. Ian was great to rent off - I felt so comfortable all the way. Ian's communication was clear and easy to follow. Car was immaculate, great size/height (small SUV) and drove beautifully on the road. I honestly didn't realise it would have as much power as it does. Seats were super comfy and LOVED the huge screen and map options. Was a great cost effective option for work. It was fully charged and ready to roll. Great for busy professionals. Overall - highly recommended. It was a great option for work and will definitely hire this EV from Ian again”

“Thanks for allowing us to rent your lovely BYD Atto 3 for a day. This was a great chance for us to try it out, since we are hoping to buy an EV of our own in the future. I've test driven many EVs in Europe but not the BYD, so this was a new experience. It was such a pleasant and smooth ride and also so quiet! To anyone who's considering buying an EV, or just looking for a great car to take for a spin the Hunter Valley, I could not recommend it more highly! Thanks again!”

“Last week Rosie and I drove from Newcastle to Scone + return for a family visit – about 400Km round trip – up and back in the day. Neither of us had driven an EV before. I have been driving for 70+ years and Rosie for more than 60 years. It was a Grand Experience! Seats supportive and comfortable; Vision good; Quiet, smooth ride; Beautiful smooth take-off; Braking v smooth; Effortless; Suspension v good on smooth roads, and normal on average roads;
Service provided by owner was first class, including assisting with my first ever Fast Charger Top up. 4 mins to charge battery to quarter full, for just over $4."

“Ian was very helpful. Booking & handover was easy. The BYD Atto 3 was great to drive. Smooth steering, smooth ride, great visibility & elevated seating like a small SUV. Loved the sunroof & capability to plug in a power point from the car (eg. you could take a coffee maker on a picnic!). Overall a great small SUV. Highly recommend for your next trip to Newcastle.”

“Sonya and I decided to try out an EV on a day trip to visit friends about 100km away and chose NEWY EV RENTALS in our home town of Newcastle NSW. From the booking on EVEE.COM.AU to picking up the vehicle from Ian, we felt pleasantly supported through the whole process. Ian was welcoming and clear with all his getting started briefing and information and was very knowledgable on other various aspects of the vehicle and the EV driving experience. This set us up for a comfortable first time drive of an EV. We started our journey in an immaculate vehicle and instantly felt comfortable with the vehicle and its operations. We had such a great day with no issues what so ever and arrived home safe and sound. We would recommend Ian at newyevrentals.au, he couldn’t have helped us more, and the evee.com.au platform for making the rental an easy experience.”

“We were curious to try an electric vehicle and were delighted with our experience of the Atto3. It was easy to use and very comfortable with the fuel savings the biggest bonus. Ian was very knowledgeable and provided all the information we needed. He was friendly and professional”
