Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Dublin Airport (DUB)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, head for the rental car centre in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Here you can arrange a booking with well-known companies like Dooley, Europcar and Avis. If you want some more options, also check out Enterprise and Budget.
What happens if I need to cancel my Newcastle car reservation?
You should get a total refund on your prepaid rental if you notify us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. Read through your policy for the specifics. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Newcastle?
The majority of visitors rent economy vehicles in Newcastle. Drivers love them because they're fuel-efficient and affordable. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for navigating cities, where streets are busy and parking can be a challenge. But your options don't end there. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs are also among our rental range. Whether you're hanging around Newcastle or headed beyond, we'll have a ride that fits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from Newcastle?
There are lots of things to see and do in Newcastle, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can cruise around the greater area at your leisure. Add these awesome places to your list:

  • Make your way to Waterford for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Around 121 kilometres from Newcastle, it's home to tons of amazing sights, including House of Waterford Crystal.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Dundalk too? Notable tourist attractions in this buzzing city include Dundalk Stadium. Dundalk is approximately 80 kilometres from Newcastle.
  • Get into nature and take in the serenity at Connemara National Park. It's about 225 kilometres from Newcastle.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
You'll need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Newcastle. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Look up the rules before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Newcastle?
If you're renting a vehicle in Newcastle or planning a big road trip in Ireland, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Newcastle?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and reserve a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Newcastle companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
