Before hiring a car in Mudgee, it’s important to remember these top tips for a safe, enjoyable journey behind the wheel.
As a regional centre, Mudgee has a mix of sealed and unsealed roads, both of which are well-maintained. Exercise caution when driving along unsealed dirt roads, particularly after weather events like heavy rain.
Recently, the city centre of Mudgee saw a permanent speed limit change to 40km/h across all CBD streets to improve road safety. Always check the speed limits marked along roads across the region, as these are strictly enforced.
With many rural areas and farmland surrounding Mudgee, avoid driving at dawn, dusk or after dark (as this is when animals are most likely to enter the road). Plus, always nominate a designated driver if you’re planning to visit the region’s wineries, and never drink and drive.
One of the most popular roads on the outskirts of Mudgee is Putta Bucca Road (located between the Castlereagh Highway and Henry Lawson Drive). Recently, the speed limit at the Henry Lawson Drive end of this road was reduced from 80km/h to 60km/h to make it safer for all, as fog is regularly present during the cooler months.
Luckily, there are no toll roads in Mudgee. In NSW, you’ll only find toll roads in Sydney.
There are plenty of on-street and off-street parking options in Mudgee’s CBD. While a number of on-street parking spots have shifted to a 2-hour limit, parking is still free. Look for spots along Short Street, Market Street, Gladstone Street, Church Street and Douro Street in the Mudgee CBD.
Head to Church Street in the Mudgee CBD to find a number of petrol stations, including Ampol Foodary, BP and Shell Coles Express. Remember, many petrol stations close at 10 pm, so don’t leave it too late to refuel.
There are a handful of EV charging stations across Mudgee if you’re driving an electric car, including the NRMA Charging Station at 99 Mortimer St (open 24/7), the NRMA Charging Station on Short Street, and the Tesla Destination Charger at 84 Market Street.
With limited public transport in Mudgee, hiring a car is the best way to experience the region. From visiting acclaimed wineries to long lunching at renowned restaurants, hiring a car gives you the freedom to maximise your time, customise your itinerary and venture to the scenic delights close to Mudgee.
