Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Bournemouth?
Set your own course in Bournemouth, with car rental prices as low as AU$111 a day. That’s based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it’ll be a cinch to find a ride that meets your needs.
Can I rent a car from Southampton Airport (SOU)?
You can choose from a good range of car rental outlets within a short distance of the airport. Fox Rental Cars, Easirent EU and Avis are top picks for many travellers. Hertz and Budget are some other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Bournemouth car reservation?
No need to worry. You should get a complete refund if you notify us more than six hours prior to picking up the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan the car’s home agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Bournemouth?
Most visitors go for economy vehicles in Bournemouth. Drivers love them because they’re good on gas and affordable. Plus, their smaller size makes them well-suited to getting around cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be tight. But economy isn’t your only option. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs are also among our home range. Whether you’re hanging around Bournemouth or venturing beyond, we’ll have a ride that fits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from Bournemouth?
When you’ve covered all the well-known sights in Bournemouth, there’s heaps more to explore in the surrounding area. Grab the keys to a rental car, throw your bags in the trunk and hit the road. We’ve pulled together some road trips we’re confident you’ll love:

  • Head to London for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 153 kilometres from Bournemouth, it’s home to loads of amazing sights like Buckingham Palace.
  • Why not see all that’s on offer in Birmingham too? Major attractions in this colourful city include Bullring Shopping Centre. Birmingham is around 193 kilometres from Bournemouth.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Bournemouth with Expedia?
Pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your wheels, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the big-name suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Bournemouth car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bournemouth?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in Bournemouth. Be aware that home providers will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren’t permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Take note of the fine print before you book so there are no surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Bournemouth?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bournemouth?
In Bournemouth, like the rest of England, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if it’s your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bournemouth?
Whether you have plans to hang around Bournemouth or travel beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Bournemouth car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking to rent a car in Bournemouth, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you do your research.
