Question 4

Do I need a valid passport to rent a car from Routes in Newcastle?

Accepted Answer

A valid passport is typically required for international customers renting a vehicle from Routes in Newcastle. For domestic renters, a valid driver’s license is usually sufficient. In the United States and Canada, U.S. and Canadian residents generally only need a valid driver’s license.

Always verify the specific identification requirements with the rental company, as they can vary based on the country and region.

Question 5

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The Routes fuel policy you select in Newcastle will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 6

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car hire to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.
