Where can I find a Cardiff car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a Cardiff supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Cardiff with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may 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 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, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go 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 fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
