How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
In Newcastle, the requirement is generally 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. Remember to read the fine print carefully before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Newcastle, the two main things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out the company’s insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Newcastle, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Newcastle with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
