Vehicle rental FAQs

  • Where are you based?

    We have two branches – one in Gateshead (just 15 minutes from Newcastle International Airport) and another in Sunderland. Here's where to find them.

  • What's the minimum vehicle rental period?

    Usually, vehicles are available in 24-hour blocks. So if you hire a car for one day at 10:00, you'd be expected to bring it back by the same time the next day.


    That said, we pride ourselves on being flexible. Let us know if you have specific requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate them.

  • Are insurance and breakdown cover included?

    Yes. All rental vehicles come with insurance, as well as 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the hire period.


    You can add more named drivers or a collision damage waiver (CDW) for a small additional cost.

  • Are there mileage limits?

    On most rental vehicles, yes.


    Vans and small cars are subject to a limit of 250 miles per day (24-hour period). For medium and large cars (including SUVs), the limit is 200 miles. These limits cap out at 2,400 miles per 28-day period.


    Minibuses do not have a mileage limit.

  • Do I need a credit card to hire a vehicle?

    No. We ask for a refundable deposit on all vehicle rentals, but this can be paid via debit card or credit card.


    Check our rental guides for more information on our deposit policy.

  • I've got a special request – can you help?
