Newcastle Airport Guide

Car Hire

Newcastle Airport is the 11th busiest of England’s regional airports and is located just outside the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, some six miles to the northwest. Unusually for a UK regional airport, the complex holds its own light rail metro station, giving a direct link to the city in 22 minutes, with further links to Sunderland and Gateshead on the opposite banks of the River Tyne estuary taking 55 minutes. Bus, taxi and rental car are the alternative means of transport, with car hire in Newcastle Airport the most convenient way to explore this historic region.

Who to Book With
Five international car hire companies are based in Newcastle Airport’s terminal: Avis, Hertz, Europcar, Alamo and National. Their desks are found opposite the Domestic Arrivals gate on the ground floor and are open 24 hours. The cars themselves are easily accessed in the car park adjacent to the terminal.

Need to Know Essentials
The following documents must be provided at the vehicle collection point:

- Your home country driver’s licence
- The credit card used for the online reservation
- A passport or utility bill confirming your ID
- Confirmation of your advance booking

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
The UK drives on the left and most hire cars have manual gear shifts. Driving here is generally straightforward and safe as the vast majority of roads, from motorways to rural lanes, are kept in good condition and British drivers are normally courteous. Speed limits, numerically marked, are 70mph on motorways and most dual carriageways, 60mph on rural roads and 30mph in urban areas. Parking restrictions in cities are rigorously enforced, but Newcastle city has over 100 municipal pay-and-display car parks which operate the EU Blue Badge scheme for disabled drivers. Warning triangles and visibility jackets should be carried and seatbelts must be worn by all vehicle occupants. Mobile phone usage while driving is forbidden unless a hands-free kit is used.

See our guide to the UK for more information on driving here.

Transport

Self-drive from the airport to the city centre is straightforward and fast outside rush hours via the A696/A1 Great North Road which links the airport with the city in an average time of 15 minutes. The metro system runs directly from the airport’s station while a selection of bus and taxi services make up the other onward transportation options.

Trains
Newcastle’s Tyne & Wear Metro is fast and comfortable, terminating at Central Station and stopping at several other city centre destinations. Trains run every 12 minutes from 06:00 to 23:58 daily, and the journey to central Newcastle takes 25 minutes and costs £3.60.

Taxis
Airport Taxis provide the official local and long-distance service at Newcastle Airport, with the rank located just outside the Arrivals area. Cabs can be booked in advance, with the average journey to the city centre taking around 25 minutes and costing £15. Cabs are wheelchair accessible and operate 24 hours on 365 days per year. Discount fares are often available when customers pre-book online.

Taxi prices:
Newcastle Airport to Newcastle city centre is about £15
Newcastle Airport to Alnwick is about £65
Newcastle Airport to Edinburgh is about £210
Newcastle Airport to Glasgow is about £275

Buses
Newcastle Airport offers several Nexus bus services which link with the city centre and nearby towns and villages. The most convenient is bus number 353, which is operated by Stagecoach and runs from the stop immediately outside the terminal to Monument Bus Station in the city centre. Bus travel is the cheapest option, but traffic conditions and frequent stops make it the most time-consuming. Several city centre hotels offer shuttle buses, and routes to Gateshead and Sunderland are also available.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.
