Top tips for hiring a car in Gateshead

  • The town of Gateshead lies just across the River Tyne from the city of Newcastle. Car hire in Gateshead gives you immediate flexibility and freedom to explore this region of the country at your leisure, so you never have to suffer the inconvenience of public transportation. For a couple of adventuresome roadtrips, take the A1 south 98 miles to Leeds or travel along the A1 125 miles north to Edinburgh.
  • Newcastle Airport (NCL) is a mere 12 miles from downtown Gateshead, making it the most practical air hub for your flight. It is also the most convenient location to pick up a car hire in Gateshead after you arrive there. Locating the Car Hire Centre at the airport is easy because it is situated just outside the exit of Domestic Arrivals, landside of the main terminal building.
  • Gateshead has a large commercial and retail sector with a population in excess of 100,000 residents. Expect a high volume of vehicular, pedestrian and motorcycle traffic during the morning/evening rush period, as well in the early afternoon hours. Cycling is a popular activity in Gateshead with several dedicated routes around town, so pay particular attention to these lanes, especially at the weekend. The months from June-September will also experience moderate increases in traffic volumes due to tourist activity given the town’s proximity to Newcastle.
  • Expect the area from the Tyne Bridge along A167, and the ring road it creates with the A184, to be a hive of vehicular activity from 07:00-09:00. The A1/A1231 exchange south of the town centre is another key area to avoid during the morning rush outbound as well as during the 16:00-18:30 evening rush hours inbound. The A184/A167 ring road encircles the town’s main retail/commercial zone, which is an active area for vehicular and pedestrian traffic from 13:00-15:00. Bridge traffic (there are at least five) across the Tyne is also vulnerable to delays.
  • Book your car hire in Gateshead at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini car hire in Gateshead are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average
