Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Newcastle?

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Newcastle rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge additional costs.
