How old do you have to be to hire a car in Dorset?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and above can hire a car in Dorset. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before locking in your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to hire a car in Dorset?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from hire company to hire company, so read through your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in Dorset?
Dorset has no doubt had some very happy car renters lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were £45 and £46.

Where can I find a Dorset hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Dorset companies will hire to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Dorset with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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 match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your 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 in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
