Newcastle International lies just north-west of the city at Woolsington, with Northumberland's castles and coast, Hadrian's Wall and the North Pennines all within a day's drive. Compare in-terminal and Car Hire Village offers together and book the right car for your trip.
Where to collect your car
Several brands have desks in the terminal building, while others operate from the Car Hire Village on the airport site. A few independent firms are based a little further out, near Woolsington and the Brunswick industrial estate. Each offer shows its pick-up type, and your voucher tells you exactly where to go.

Tips
Before you set off
Tyne Tunnel tolls
There are no toll booths: pay online by midnight the day after you travel, or the hire company may pass on the penalty with an admin fee.
Holy Island causeway
The road to Lindisfarne floods at high tide. Check the published safe crossing times before you set off, and never take a chance.
Clean Air Zone
Newcastle and Gateshead's Clean Air Zone doesn't charge private cars, so a standard hire car can drive into the centre without paying.
