It's a good idea to read over the rental policy though as there are some exemptions. If you can't find the answer there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Bristol?
Bustling city streets and cramped parking spaces are no sweat for an economy car — the most popular hire type in Bristol. Take the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Bristol can be explored in almost any sort of hire you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Bristol?
Bristol offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the wider area. These are some great options:

  • Make your way to Chicago for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Roughly 95 miles from Bristol, it has many amazing sights such as Wrigley Field.
  • Why not enjoy all that's on offer in Ann Arbor too? Top sights to see here include University of Michigan. Ann Arbor is about 110 miles from Bristol.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and take in the serenity at Olbrich Botanical Gardens. It's approximately 200 miles from Bristol.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and above can hire a vehicle in Bristol. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before making your reservation. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can hire. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to hire a car in Bristol?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so be sure to read through your policy.
What is the cheapest car hire in Bristol?
The two cheapest daily rates recorded in Bristol within the past seven days were £63 and £65. How's that for a great deal? 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 Bristol?
You can hire a car for a month or longer in Bristol, so go on and extend that holiday! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car hire deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
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 suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise 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 U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
