Time to drop off your rental back at the airport? Here’s everything you need to know.
Where to return your hire car
You can return your hire car to our office at Newcastle International Airport. You’ll need to drop it off at the Hertz lot, just off the A696/Newcastle International Airport roundabout.
- Get on the A696 heading northwest from Newcastle’s city centre.
- Follow signs for Newcastle International Airport, coming off at the 2nd exit at the titular airport roundabout.
- Follow the road round to the Hertz drop-off parking lot, clearly signposted.
We’re just a short walk from the entrance to the terminal building.
What to do when you return your hire car
Dropping your car off is straightforward and simple. Just return the car to our airport lot by the agreed date and time on your booking confirmation. You can hand the keys back at the pick-up desk in the airport terminal where our staff will complete your return.
How to extend your hire car booking
You can extend your Hertz rental by letting our staff know when you pick up your vehicle or contact the branch once you are on the road to arrange for additional days.
There may also be the option to return you car to a different location than Newcastle Airport. Please let us know if you plan to do this when you first pick-up the vehicle. There may be additional charges and doing so is restricted to certain locations and vehicles.
