Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Bristol?
The cheapest daily rate in Bristol was based on prices within the last seven days. Browse our wide range of options, from economy vehicles to cruise-in-style rides.
Can I rent a car from Philadelphia Intl. Airport (PHL)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. Once you arrive, head to the rental car centre at the Rental Car Centre. Here you can get your transport sorted with fantastic companies like National, Avis and Enterprise. If you'd like more options, also check out Hertz and Alamo.
What happens if I need to cancel my Bristol car reservation?
No need to stress. You should receive a total refund if you advise us at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan your rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Bristol?
Small in size but big on perks, economy cars are the top pick in Bristol. They're easy to park and handle, which is perfect if you'll be doing mostly city driving. And with excellent mileage, this reliable rental type will have you touring around on the cheap. Want a larger car? Check out our range of standard, full-size or premium vehicles.
Where can I go on a road trip from Bristol?
Bristol is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider area. Here are some great options:

  • New York is roughly 105 kilometres from Bristol. Renowned tourist spots like Times Square should be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Next stop? Make it Baltimore, which is around 177 kilometres away. National Aquarium in Baltimore is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Head to Great Falls Park to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Bristol, it's approximately 241 kilometres away.

Check customer ratings, choose your favourite ride and compare offers from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Bristol car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Bristol. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before making your reservation. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Bristol?
With rental rates beginning at just and a day in Bristol within the past seven days, you'll be zipping off with your own fantastic deal in next to no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Whether you're planning to stick around Bristol or journey beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find a Bristol supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
