With recent developments and regeneration Newcastle now has a reputation as the jewel of the North East. Many businesses are taking advantage of the cities thriving business centre and popular attractions such at the Baltic and the quayside are drawing the crowds.
Situated in the north east of England, upon the Tyne, Newcastle has much to offer businesspeople and tourists alike. Newcastle offers good links to the north, including Scotland, and is very close to beautiful protected forest and parkland. Newcastle is also within easy reach of the Northumberland Coastal Route. The vibrancy of the city makes it an ideal location for a short break or as a base for exploring further afield.
To make the most of the city and the surrounding area many choose to hire a car. You can hire a car from the city centre, such as at the large central rail station. The city has an international airport approximately 15 miles from the centre, easily accessed by road or Metro. Many of the bigger names in car hire can be found here, with extensive ranges to please families and executives alike. Some of the executive and luxury models (class three) are only available from these renowned international companies, and those seeking a prestige model should consider the airport’s range of outlets.

Class one cars are small, often two doored cars that will comfortably accommodate a couple and their luggage. These are available from most hire companies, and prove the best value for money. The most economical vehicles are used and are available from as little as £12 (25 euros) per day, making travelling in and around Newcastle very affordable.
Whatever your vehicle requirements and tastes there will be a car to suit you, and many outlets can arrange the use of 4x4, sports vehicles and MPVs or mini vans. If you have a very specific request it is well worth contacting an agent in advance. Most outlets will also be very accommodating in terms of the drop off and collection of your hire car, working to times and locations that suit you.
When renting a car you will often find that the vehicle, regardless of size and MPG, comes with approximately a quarter of a tank of fuel. This is enough to get you started and the vehicle should be returned with a similar volume.
Prices do vary dependent upon the model of car, the class of car (from one to three, one being small and three being executive) and the length of rental. Insurance is compulsory for the length of hire and collision damage waiver is highly recommended, to protect you in the event of an accident.
