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.

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!
