Cheap car rentals at Darlington Teesside Intl airport
Top tips for renting a car at Darlington Teesside Intl airport
- Getting car hire at Darlington Teesside International Airport is a great way to see the sights in the northeast of England on your own terms. The local bus network will take you between towns, but to see the coastline and hidden gems, you'll want to get behind the wheel. It's quick and convenient to book car hire at this airport, as it is relatively small without much traffic and you've got a decent selection of top-notch car hire providers.
- Surcharges for car hire at Darlington Teesside International Airport can be quite expensive, so make sure you sign off on only what you need. For example, some extras you can cut costs on include a meet-and-greet service, sat-nav and premium insurance. You're generally better off buying standard car hire insurance separately from your contract. Also, don't forget to refill the tank if you're on a full-to-full contract – otherwise, you will get charged above-market rates for fuel.
- Not all car hire providers at Darlington Teesside International Airport allow you to return your car at the terminal car park. For example, Hertz has an off-site parking space for car drop-offs. If you do go with the off-site providers, budget your time carefully so you don't miss your flight. Otherwise, it may be a safer bet to book on-site car hire, such as Avis. When returning to the airport via the A67, look out for the signs indicating the Darlington Teesside International Airport car park.
- Have your parking budget ready in coins, as many small villages and towns in the Darlington-Durham area have parking meters that accept coins only. Some do accept cards and mobile payments too, but, depending on how rural you go, you'll want to be on the safe side. You may also want to check whether your accommodation facilities have parking available.
- Book your rental car at Darlington Teesside Intl airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about renting a car at Darlington Teesside Intl airport
Where do I go to collect my car hire at Darlington Teesside International Airport?
Depending on your provider, your car might be waiting for you just outside the airport, or a shuttle bus ride away. For example, Avis has a desk in the Arrivals lounge and a car waiting for you a 2min walk away from the terminal, in the car hire parking area. Hertz and Europcar, however, operate a meet-and-greet service and a shuttle ride to their respective car parks.
What documentation do I need to sign a car hire contract?
If you've pre-booked, present your rental voucher. You must show your driver's licence and, if requested, an extra form of ID – for example, your passport. To rent a car at Darlington Teesside International Airport, you need to be over 18 years old, but some providers only lease a rental car if you're over 21 years old. They may additionally apply a young driver's surcharge for under 25 or 26-year-old drivers.
Do I need to have a credit card with me?
Darlington Teesside International Airport car hire providers do not accept debit cards. A valid credit card is required for the company to arrange the security deposit, which you get back upon drop-off assuming there is no damage to the vehicle.

Where can I find a petrol station near Darlington Teesside International Airport?
If you need to refill the tank to the same level as you collected it, there are a couple of nearby petrol stations, both around a 10min drive away.
