Durham rules state drivers must be 21 and over to hire a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter hire conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard hire car rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.

A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
