How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newcastle?
The minimum age is 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should be aware of before booking your wheels in Newcastle. If you’re a young motorist, most home providers will charge an additional fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between companies. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Newcastle companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Newcastle with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
