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.

  • 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.

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.
