How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
Generally, you need to be 21 years of age and over in Bristol. It’s important to note that most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to hire a car in Bristol?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ from hire company to hire company, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Bristol hire car if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Bristol rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s good to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every car hire company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read the details before booking!
