What is the required documentation to hire a car at Newcastle upon Tyne Airport?

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.

What are the best models of car to rent for traveling the surrounding area near Newcastle upon Tyne Airport?

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.

Absolutely disgraceful. On arrival I was asked to hand over my license & credit card. After a minute of tapping on her computer the Alamo representative said “we haven’t got a car for you”. Apparently they’d ran out & she said they didn’t have enough for people who’d booked months ago let alone me ( who’d booked the day before. I asked what I was supposed to do. She said “I don’t know” She also told me that they had tried calling me but I had no missed calls or voicemails. Thankfully Avis helped me.
