Question 1

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your hire car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the hire company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your hire to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 3

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be authorised by the hire company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 4

What details are covered in the car hire contract?

Accepted Answer

The car hire contract in Newcastle includes essential details such as the rental terms and conditions, insurance coverage options, and payment information. It specifies the rental duration, any additional services requested (like GPS or child seats), and policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for extra drivers. The contract also covers procedures for vehicle return, responsibilities for any damages, and the required identification, such as a valid driver’s license and credit card. Be sure to review the contract thoroughly to understand all aspects of your rental agreement.

Question 5

Is renting a car for a week in Newcastle more cost-effective?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car for a week in Newcastle can sometimes be more cost-effective than renting for a shorter period, as many car hire companies offer weekly rates that provide better value. To ensure you get the best deal, it’s advisable to compare rates and check for any available discounts or promotions during the booking process. Always review the pricing details carefully before finalizing your reservation.

Question 6

How can I get to and from the Airport to the city center of Newcastle?

Accepted Answer
