Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Newcastle car reservation?
We all have times when plans suddenly change. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid bookings if you advise us a minimum of six hours in advance of picking up the car. Be sure to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not available. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Newcastle?
Cost-effective, a breeze to handle and good on mileage, it's not surprising compact cars are the most sought-after rental type in Newcastle. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
Drivers aged 21 and above can get on the road in Newcastle in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Newcastle providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
