How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southampton?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Southampton is 21. A surcharge for young drivers generally applies, so check before booking and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between outlets, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Southampton home suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25  be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's handy to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
