How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?

Check before you choose your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the basics are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.

Yes, so you won't have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and lock in a ride that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 in Bristol often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen holiday home company to avoid excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
