Many rental companies impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.

Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Bristol often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any extra costs for this age range. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred rental dealer to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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 Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
