How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?
Rental vehicle rules in Cardiff require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
Any rental company you choose will need 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 other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Where can I find a Cardiff car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Cardiff providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Cardiff with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
