Can I hire a car from Cardiff Intl. Airport (CWL)?

The most booked rental car type, these rides are easy on the purse strings, good on fuel and a breeze to park. With a compact car, you'll easily handle the bustling city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Browse our range of larger hire models including intermediate, standard and full-size. However you want to roll, we'll have your perfect ride.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cardiff?
With your own vehicle, exploring the surrounding areas is a breeze. Cardiff is a wonderful place to start, but there's tons more to keep you on the move in the region. Grab the keys to a hire car, toss your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other terrific locations:

  • Roughly 35 miles from Cardiff, Swansea is on the itinerary of many visitors. With leading attractions like Swansea Beach, you'll have no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Another city popular with travellers is Carmarthen, around 55 miles away. Skanda Vale is just one of many reasons why people keep coming back to this place.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Cardiff with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?
Generally, the requirement is 21 years of age and over in Cardiff. It's important to note that most companies will charge a young renter fee. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as rules may differ between hire car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to hire a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Cardiff hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Cardiff hire suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25, some companies will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every car hire company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
