Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.

Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car.

Question 12

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Newcastle outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.

Question 13

Can I drive in Newcastle with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
