Car hire in Newcastle upon Tyne

At Europcar Newcastle upon Tyne our hassle-free service will have you on your way in no time, wherever your journey is taking you. Hiring a car couldn’t be simpler, with our two rental offices conveniently located in the city.

Our Newcastle Airport rental desk is inside the domestic arrivals terminal and we are easy to reach by car or the Metro, which links directly to the city’s main train station. Our Newcastle Railway station office is a 5-10 minute walk from the entrance of Central Station in the heart of the city.

We pride ourselves on our friendly and flexible service. With daily, weekly and monthly car rental options we can cover your short or long-term car hire needs. Planning a one-way trip? No problem, you can drop off your rental car at one of the other rental stations in our extensive network across the country.

Thanks to our wide range of makes and models, you can hire a car to suit your journey and budget. Our small city cars are perfect for exploring Newcastle and its sights such as the castle and the iconic Tyne Bridge. Planning a trip across the country to the Lake District to enjoy the beautiful lakes and countryside? You’ll be wanting one of our larger models – a practical family car, an SUV or even one of our luxury prestige models.

Car rental from Europcar is great value and convenient with no hidden charges, just competitive year-round prices, flexible deals and a great choice of vehicles. What are you waiting for!

Travel safely

As part of our safety programme, all our vehicles are rigorously cleaned with organic disinfectants and we do everything to offer you a contactless experience.

Newcastle has everything you’d expect of a large city and you’ll be spoilt for choice for shopping, eating and socialising opportunities – Geordies are famed for their nightlife! But there’s plenty of culture here too – head to the Biscuit Factory for contemporary arts and events when you need a change of pace.

If you’re staying more than a couple of days, maybe you want to hit the road and see what else is nearby. York is around an hour and 45 minutes from Newcastle and hardly needs an introduction! Famous for its historic city walls, imposing Gothic Minster, and the picturesque ‘Shambles’ medieval shopping street, the city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. A great way to get a feel for the history of York is to go back in time at the Jorvik Viking Centre, an experiential museum with all the sights, sounds – and even smells – of Viking-era York!

And if the sea is calling you, two hours away is Robin Hoods Bay on the North Yorkshire coast, a picture-perfect fishing village of stone houses and narrow streets perched on the cliffs above the North Sea. A day trip will give you enough time to explore the village, the sandy beach and cosy pubs at your leisure, but if you’re staying longer, nearby Whitby and Scarborough offer even more Yorkshire seaside delights – don’t miss Whitby’s famous fish and chips!
