How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
The minimum age is 21. But there are several age-related rules to be aware of before locking in your wheels in Bristol. If you're a younger motorist, most rental suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can hire. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between providers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental providers, so it's always a good idea to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car hire in Bristol?

Where can I find a Bristol hire car if I am younger than 25?
Hiring a car if you are under 25 in Bristol often depends on the hire supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age group. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape any surprise charges on pick-up.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get 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., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book 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, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
