How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bristol?
Bristol rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal hire car rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to hire a car in Bristol?
Before you can road trip around Bristol, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the hire company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.

Where can I find a Bristol hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can hire a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Bristol often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not have any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car hire dealer to escape extra charges on pick-up.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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 rough terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
