Question 7

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Gatwick?

Accepted Answer

Gatwick rules state drivers must be 21 and above to hire a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car hire rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.

Question 8

What do you need to hire a car in Gatwick?

Accepted Answer

Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.
