How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?
At least 21. But there are some age-related rules to be aware of before booking your wheels in Bristol. If you’re a younger motorist, home providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge amount, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. It’s a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between home outlets, so be sure to read the fine print.

Based on prices within the past seven days, you could’ve slid into the driver’s seat of a rental car for just AU$149 per day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Bristol was AU$152.

Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Bristol often depends on the home provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your selected home company to avoid unnecessary costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you 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 Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
