9-6pm or 24 hours?
All our self drive hire prices include insurance for one driver that meets the insurance conditions (see faq). The price is where the hirer collects and returns the car from our Gosforth garage. We set our hires to default at 9am-6pm which are available 7 days a week. Proceed with the order if this fits your requirements. You can change the hire to a 24 hour hire by selecting it as an extra option as part of the online booking. See our packages for information on how to select a 4 hour hire discount.Please understand that a significant portion of what we charge pays to insure you to drive the vehicle, so very short hires can be proportionally more expensive. Looking for a longer hire? We may be able to offer a 7 day hire for the cost of 5 days, ring us on 0191 4063526 to check.
4-hour Taster Drives .
Looking for a shorter hire? Applying a voucher code entitles the purchaser to either a 4 hour hire. These are specific to each vehicle, and can be found by navigating to the Our Cars page, in the ‘4 Hour Taster Drives’ dropdown box for the vehicle you require. We can’t offer these on Fridays/Saturdays/Sundays or Bank Holidays, we only offer them during periods when we aren’t busy.
Collection Time
On all 9-6 bookings the default collection time is 9am and return at 6pm. We may not be able to be available at other times as we may be carrying out delivery and collection of vehicles for weddings etc.
On all 24hr bookings the default collection time is on 6pm the day before your booking commences. So, if you book your car from the 27/05/2021, you may pick this up on 26/05/2021 at 6pm
Date from – this is the date of the full day that you want the car for.
Date to – this is the date of the end of the hire.
For example
A 24 hour hire for Saturday 25th September would be
date from 25th September and date to 25th September.
A 48 hour hire for the same weekend would be
date from 25th September and date to 26th September.
Collection for both would be on Friday 24th at 6pm.
The alternative collection time is at 9am on the day that you have booked, with return 24 hours later, please confirm either by email or by calling 0191 406 3526.

Payment
Go to the Book a Classic page. Proceed with the booking process. We accept most major credit/debit cards. The insurance excess deposit is not actually taken from your account- on the day of the hire we will need to check that your account has funds at least equal to the deposit amount. We just need to check you could cover payments, should there be a problem. The excess deposit will be frozen on your account whilst you have the vehicle on hire and refunded at the earliest opportunity after the car has been checked on return.
Pay 50% now, 50% later
For hires over £200 and more than 2 months to booking date we can take a 50% balance to book the car, then the other 50% balance a month before the booking date. Give us a call and we can arrange this. You should have all of the details required to make a reservation prior to contacting us.
Need an extra driver insured?
We charge a flat fee of £25 for every day you need an extra driver insured. This is an option you can pick as you proceed with your order.
Wanting the car dropped off or collected?
Within reason, we can transport the car to you/collect the car from you, at a fee. For example, the journey from Gosforth (where we are based) to Warkworth is approx. 28 miles. Therefore the charge would be £90, for delivery or collection of the vehicle. If you wanted the car delivered to you, and collected from you, the charge would double to £180. We offer the following delivery/collection options as part of the booking process. We just ask that you use a service such as Google Maps to calculate your journey distance from NE3 4EY so as we can charge for the service accurately.
| Delivery/Collection (one way) | Price |
|---|---|
| 1-10 miles | £50 |
| 11-20 miles | £70 |
| 21-30 miles | £90 |
| 31-40 miles | £110 |
| 41-50 miles | £130 |
