Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Newport car reservation?
There are always times when plans suddenly change. That's why we give your money back on most bookings if you let us know a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. Be sure to double-check your cancellation policy — there are some cases where it's not offered. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Newport?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Newport. They're easy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're driving around bustling cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room while still getting a wonderful deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Newport?
There are lots of things to see and do in Newport, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can meander around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your list:

  • Head to Asheville for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 153 kilometres from Newport, it has tons of inspiring sights such as Biltmore Estate.
  • About 113 kilometres away, Columbia is also a favourite with travellers. Allow time to get to South Carolina State House while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this vibrant city.
  • Ijams Nature Centre is around 274 kilometres from Newport and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newport?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Newport is 21. A young driver surcharge applies, so check before you book and factor in any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Newport?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Newport?
Yes, and the terrific news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Newport and score an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Newport car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Newport, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
