How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Bristol in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to hire a car in Bristol?
While terms and conditions may differ between outlets, generally the essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Bristol hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies operating in Bristol. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to organise 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 required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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 most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
