There's a fuel station at the airport, just before the car rental lots, making it very easy to return the car full again. And the fuel rates are very reasonable.

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Newcastle upon Tyne

  • Newcastle Upon Tyne is considered a college town because it is home to numerous colleges and universities, as well as tons of students. In this town you can visit local attractions like Victoria Tunnel and St. James’ Park, but having a hire car will let you make the short drive to see several historical landmarks, including Bamburgh Castle and York Minster.
  • Newcastle Airport serves the cities and towns of Northern England. Providing both domestic and international flights, it offers an array of services for passengers, including shops, restaurants, and car hires. Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise all have offices at this airport. With the hire car desks in close proximity of the domestic arrival hall, it is simple to rent a car when flying into here.
  • The city of Newcastle Upon Tyne has a number of mini-roundabouts. Driving through these junctions can be a little confusing and complicated because some are narrow and others are limited to public transportation only. Therefore you’ll need to pay close attention to signage. Don’t forget to drive on the left side of the road.
  • If you drive around Newcastle Upon Tyne during rush hour, you’ll likely be delayed. This is especially true if you are driving on Coast Road, High Street, Neville Road, or through the Tyne Tunnel. Morning rush hour begins at around 7 a.m. but usually slows down by around 9:30 a.m. In the evening, commuters typically return home between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
  • Book your rental car in Newcastle upon Tyne at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Compact rental cars in Newcastle upon Tyne are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The lady at Newcastle was extremely helpful and very friendly. Although the Lexus was smaller than I expected, the vehicle itself was comfortable, extremely clean and made my journey very pleasant. The drop off was very straight forward, although there wasn't any staff when I dropped the vehicle off in Aberdeen, and left the keys at the drop off letter box. Overall, I'd recommend Enterprise for hiring a vehicle in the future.

Cons:

The vehicle category I had rented was the full size SUV, which states a Volvo XC60 or similar. The Lexus is much smaller than an XC60 and not a full size SUV. I think the vehicle categories should be described much more clearer.

Staff were great. Location was great. Car was great. Hours of operation weren't very good at all if you arrive anytime after 4pm. That's their greatest short coming.
