10 tips to save on your car hire in and around York

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for those summer days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to assist you in discovering the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are likely to benefit from lower rates and greater availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to navigate in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may incur higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to those over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid refuelling options, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often entails a surcharge, but the convenience it provides may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and offers peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in York?
York rules state drivers must be 21 and over to hire a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car hire rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to hire a car in York?
Most hire companies will ask for these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Where can I find a York hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the York rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in York with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
