Newquay Airport Guide

Car Hire

Newquay Airport is the aviation gateway to the stunning county of Cornwall and its major tourism resort, Newquay. Located on Cornwall’s north coast at Mawgan, just over four miles from Newquay, it’s a small facility which was originally built to serve the US Air Force’s tactical nuclear bomber squadron but was handed over as a commercial airport just recently. Transport links with Newquay and the rest of Cornwall are via bus, taxi or hire car, with car rental in Newquay Airport the most popular means of exploring the country and its attractions.

Who to Book With
Three car hire companies, Hertz, Avis and Europcar, operate at Newquay Airport, all with desks in the Arrivals area. Self-drive is the most comfortable and most practical way to get out and about in Cornwall’s glorious countryside.

Need to Know Essentials
The following documents should be presented at vehicle collection:

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

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Apart from major roads connecting coastal resorts and inland towns, Cornwall features mostly remote country roads that wind between stone walls and hedges, over desolate moorlands and along rugged coastlines. Farm vehicles, and occasionally farm animals, are given priority, with passing places provided at the roadside. Driving here is a civilised experience, although many roads are unlit at night. The county gets crowded during the summer season, making parking difficult in popular coastal villages and towns. Nowadays, there’s a good supply of petrol stations, most of which are happy to accept card payments. Warning triangles and visibility vests should be carried.

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

Transport

Transport from the airport to Newquay is by bus, taxi or self-drive, with the latter the fastest and most convenient way to travel. Although Newquay is connected to England’s national rail network, there is no train service directly from the airport to the resort. Bus travel is relatively cheap, but taxi travel, especially for long journeys, is expensive.

Trains
There is no train service directly at Newquay Airport but First Great Western trains run to London-Paddington via Par Station from Newquay Railway Station in the city.

Taxis
Biotravel is the airport’s chosen taxi partner. Taxis can be booked in advance or at the company’s desk in the Arrivals hall. The company monitors the flights of its customers and makes sure a representative meets them off the plane. Discounts are given for online bookings.

Taxi prices:
Newquay Airport to Newquay city centre is about £15
Newquay Airport to Plymouth is about £75
Newquay Airport to Penzance is about £75

Buses
Western Greyhound offers hourly bus links from the airport to Newquay and other popular Cornish destinations. Bus number 556 runs to the city’s bus station between 08:05 and 19:25, with the journey taking approximately 25 minutes. The reasonably-priced, single-journey tickets are purchased from the driver. For touring the region by bus, an all-day travel ticket costs £10.
