Cheap Eco by Europcar Car Rental in Newcastle

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Newcastle, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

When renting a car in Newcastle, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Eco by Europcar. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.
