Info on Gateshead Car Hire & Travel

All the prices have unlimited mileage, breakdown and collision damage waiver/reduction (CDW) included. Insurance to either cover claims is available via Allianz, or you can pay extra on collection to reduce to either zero, or a lower amount.

Extras like child seats, drivers and Sat Nav can be requested, but are paid for locally.

When choosing your vehicle, you need to also consider the damage excess deposit, as this can vary from car to car and by supplier. This is, say GBP500, which they can charge you, for dents, scratches and so-on, deemed to have occurred whilst you were driving. Claims it "happened in a car park," fail to get anywhere.

So you have three choices of either paying the local insurance daily charge to, usually, reduce the amount to zero. Or, take the risk nothing happens, but stone chips can happen anytime.

Or, get excess cover protection through AXA, who will re-imburse a charge on your card. This insurance can be done during or after booking, but note this does not stop the car company holding money and debiting a claim from your card. So, the local insurance can vary and all is shown in each supplier terms.

Lastly, the other costs that can vary are extra drivers, GPS, baby seats etc., so best get an email quote for what suits and email us.

About Gateshead

This town is across the Tyne from Newcastle and has a strong athletics background.

The strong connection to Newcastle across the river, is helped by there being a total of seven bridges to speed the travelling up and thus around one hundred and twenty five thousand people who live people in Gateshead are also referred to as Geordies.

The name derives from olde English for Goat's Head, but the history of the town goes back to Roman times.

Coal mining began about 800 hundred years ago, but as the coal ran out, iron works became the main industry, but also became famous for sea-cable.
