Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Dorset?
Follow your own road in Dorset, with hire car prices starting at just £128 a day. That's based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it'll be a piece of cake to find a ride that works for you.
What happens if I need to cancel my Dorset car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid hire six hours before the scheduled pick-up time should allow for a total refund. But this is not always the case. It's worth looking through your booking confirmation and cancellation policy. Still can't find the answer? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Dorset?
The majority of visitors rent economy cars in Dorset. Drivers love them because of their affordability. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for navigating cities, where streets are crowded and parking spaces are tight. But your options don't end there. Full-size, mid-size and premium cars are also among our hire range. Whether you're hanging around Dorset or venturing beyond, we'll have a ride that fits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from Dorset?
After you've been to all of the well-known sights in Dorset, there's loads more to explore in the surrounding area. Collect the keys to a hire car, stow your luggage in the trunk and get out on the open road. We've come up with some drives you're sure to enjoy:

  • Make your way to Boston for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Around 120 miles from Dorset, it's home to tons of inspiring sights like Fenway Park.
  • Your next pit stop? It has to be Cambridge, which is around 120 miles away. Harvard Square is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Get out into the great outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Herring Cove Beach. You'll find it around 170 miles from Dorset.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Dorset with Expedia?
It's easy to score an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your wheels, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off points, and compare offers from trusted rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Dorset car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
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 £128 and £138. 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 Dorset?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll show you incredible options from various top suppliers.
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!
