How do I find the best car hire deals in Cardiff with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare rates, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Cardiff car hire with flight or hotel bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Cardiff?
Cardiff requires drivers to be at least 21 to hire a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and tighter hire conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car hire rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to hire a car in Cardiff?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What is the cheapest car hire in Cardiff?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could’ve sat in the driver’s seat of your own rental car for just £144 per day. The second lowest daily rate on offer in Cardiff was £146. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Cardiff?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a hire car in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a set of wheels that’s all yours for however long you need.
Where can I find a Cardiff hire car if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Cardiff hire providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional fees. It’s best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Cardiff with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
