How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?
You'll need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a rental car in Bristol. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Look up the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between providers, so it's a good idea to read the fine print.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bristol?
Expedia makes it a snap to book an affordable long-term holiday home in Bristol. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Bristol holiday home providers you're interested in. If you're under 25  some outlets will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need 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, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to 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'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
