Car rental at Newcastle upon Tyne Airport

You will see signs to direct you to the car hire desks once you have collected your baggage and are exiting the Arrivals area. The desks are located in the main area by the airport doors, and are very easy to find as they are all together, and clearly signed. If you need any assistance, there are information points and helpful staff to help you.

The main required pieces of documentation for car hire at Newcastle upon Tyne Airport are your driver’s license, a secondary photo identification, and a major credit card in your name. The specifics can vary between companies, but some will set the minimum age at 25, while others will instead add an additional fee for younger drivers. Insurance is also a requirement, so if you are using your own coverage instead of opting for a policy through the Newcastle upon Tyne Airport car hire company, you will need to provide them with proof of your coverage.

This depends on your plans with your rental car, as for general travel in the UK a compact or standard vehicle is more than sufficient, though ensuring you have air conditioning may be a good idea if you are traveling in summer on longer drives. If your plans include venturing into the nature the north of England has to offer, a standard vehicle will still do the job but you may be more comfortable in an SUV on slightly rougher roads in the National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you are traveling in a group or family, an SUV or van might be more comfortable than a standard vehicle, offering extra space.
