How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manchester?
Manchester requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Manchester?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules may differ between home suppliers, so remember to check while booking.

Where can I find a Manchester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Manchester companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Manchester with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise 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 driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
