How old do you have to be to hire a car in Reading?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Reading. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before locking in your ride. There are also restrictions on the types of cars young drivers can hire. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Reading?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental outlets, so it's wise to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Reading hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Reading rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
