KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Stockton-on-Tees
- When you’re visiting Stockton-on-Tees, you’ll benefit from hiring a car rather than relying on the city’s transport system. You’ll be free to drive to any tourist spot or destination in the city centre without having to rely on public transport and fixed routes. You can drive out of town to visit attractions in the area too, like Saltholme Wildlife Reserve and Discovery Park or Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park, both wonderful nature reserves with a variety of animal habitats. A must-see in the harbour is HM Bark Endeavour, the ship on which Captain Cook made his maiden voyage to Australia. Car hire in Stockton-on-Tees will give you the independence to do all of this and more.
- Stockton-on-Tees doesn’t have its own airport, and the nearest one to the city is Teesside International Airport, which is 8 miles away and serves the entire region of the county. The car hire operators like Hertz and Enterprise don’t have kiosks in the terminal. Instead you can find them all right across the road from the arrivals terminal and it will take you under 2min to get there. Once your car hire in Stockton-on-Tees is all organised, it’s only about a 15-minute drive to get to the city along the A66 motorway, which is a fast flowing road in good condition.

You should drive with caution here, especially at night, as the vehicle and pedestrian traffic can be unpredictable.

These range from the arts to cycling festivals, so be aware of large groups of people walking around during these times, and especially for cyclists during the latter.
