Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Cardiff car reservation?
You should receive a total refund on your prepaid home if it’s cancelled more than six hours ahead of the pickup time. Scan your car rental agreement for the finer details. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Cardiff?
Economical, a breeze to handle and delivering great mileage, it’s not surprising compact cars are the most in-demand home in Cardiff. Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — there’s a style of vehicle to suit you!
Where can I go on a road trip from Cardiff?
Book a set of wheels, grab the keys and prepare to discover the endless attractions of Cardiff. But with loads more to see in the surrounding areas, don’t stop there! Chart your own course to some of the other happening places in the region:

  • You’ll feel the spirit of a city bustling with life the moment you pull into Hamilton. Some 193 kilometres from Cardiff, it’s home to a number of exciting places to discover, like SkyCity Hamilton.
  • About 193 kilometres away, Palmerston North is another destination worth sticking on your itinerary. Don’t miss The Square while you’re there.
  • No trip is complete without spending a day at Mt. Eden. This renowned nature spot is approximately 274 kilometres from Cardiff. Relax and breathe in the fresh air!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?
Rental car rules in Cardiff require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cardiff?
In Cardiff, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be aware and concentrate when you’re behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cardiff?
Whether you’re planning to stop in Cardiff or journey beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Cardiff car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car under the age of 25 in Cardiff often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age range. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your selected holiday home dealer to escape extra charges when collecting your car.
