How old do you have to be to rent a car in Birmingham?
Birmingham requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter home conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard home rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Birmingham?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Birmingham, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the home company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Birmingham?
Expedia makes it easy to score an affordable long-term holiday home in Birmingham. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Birmingham car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Birmingham often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not have any additional fees for this age range. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape extra costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Birmingham with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
