How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
Bristol rules state drivers must be at least 21 to hire a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the hire car rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Where can I find a Bristol hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Bristol hire providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every car hire company has its own policies for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any 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 traverse off-road areas with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
