Can I hire a car from Bradley Intl. Airport (BDL)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Southampton car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility on the road is important. That's why many prepaid bookings offer a total refund if cancelled at least six hours in advance of the pick-up time. It's still good to read your policy though as there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Southampton?
Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most popular rental type in Southampton. Take the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Southampton can be explored in almost any sort of hire you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Southampton?

  • Make your way to New York for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Around 120 miles from Southampton, it has many amazing sights like Times Square.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Southampton?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Southampton. Take note that rental providers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
Any hire company you select will need these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What is the cheapest car rental in Southampton?
The cheapest price for a car rental in Southampton within the past seven days was £66 per day. The second best deal on offer was £70. 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.

Visit our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip information and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Southampton or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Southampton hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Southampton, check the policies of the various hire companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
