Question 12

Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Some Southampton providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.

Question 13

Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
