Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare fees, offers and home providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Southampton car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southampton?
You need to be 21 and over to grab the keys to a rental car in Southampton. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
Before you can hit the road in Southampton, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the home company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a home provider.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
Yes, and the wonderful news is providers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Southampton and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are found in Southampton. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
