How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dorset?
You need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Dorset. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Many companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Dorset?
While booking conditions may differ between outlets, generally the essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dorset?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Dorset, so go on and extend your holiday! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Dorset car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Dorset companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Dorset with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
