What happens if I need to cancel my Durham car reservation?

What types of cars can I rent in Durham?

How do I find the best car hire deals in Durham with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Durham?
In Durham, the requirement is generally 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the hire location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to hire a car in Durham?
Any hire company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What is the cheapest car hire in Durham?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as £31. The second lowest price to rent a set of wheels in Durham was £32 a day. 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 Durham?
Whether you plan to stop in Durham or venture beyond, it's easy to book a long-term hire with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you fantastic long-term car hire deals.
Where can I find a Durham hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Durham rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's good to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you might need 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
