Europcar has opened a new branch at Newcastle railway station, offering business travellers a car rental option integrated with public transport.

The Newcastle railway station branch expands Europcar’s nationwide network bringing access to a range of services including one-way rentals. Customers will now be able to collect and drop off vehicles at the branch, from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.

"With easy access to Newcastle Airport and a number of popular tourist attractions, Newcastle is a key location in Europcar’s growing network of branches," said Ken McCall, managing director, Europcar UK Group.

"Our wide range of vehicles makes this new branch ideal for shopping and sightseeing trips, as well as business journeys. It also means that we can make the car hire experience even more convenient for leisure travellers."
