Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Southampton?
Unforgettable road trip adventures await in Southampton, with daily rental car rates starting from a budget-friendly AU$70. That's based on prices found within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Southampton Airport (SOU)?
You can choose from a good selection of rental car suppliers not far from the airport. Fox Rental Cars, Easirent EU and Avis are top picks for many travellers. Hertz and Budget are a couple of other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Southampton car reservation?
We've got good news! You should receive all of your money back if you advise us more than six hours before pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to scan your car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Southampton?
Take the wheel of a compact car in Southampton and you'll be in good company. The most sought-after rental car type, these rides are affordable, good on gas and a cinch to park. With a compact car, you'll easily navigate busy city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Check out our range of larger home models including full-size, intermediate and premium. However you like to roll, we'll have your perfect ride.
Where can I go on a road trip from Southampton?
There are so many things to do in Southampton, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • You'll discover Buckingham Palace and countless other intriguing sights in London. From Southampton, it's 113 kilometres away.
  • Why not see everything on offer in Birmingham too? Unmissable sights in this buzzing city include Bullring Shopping Centre. Birmingham is about 177 kilometres from Southampton.
  • Sherwood Forest Country Park is located 257 kilometres from Southampton and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air here.

Why should I rent a Southampton car with Expedia?
There are tons of reasons to book your ride with Expedia. We have suppliers to take your pick of in Southampton, and we'll help you land the best deal with our member prices and exclusive offers. Want to save even more? Combine your rental car, flights and hotels into a holiday package. The more you travel and book with Expedia, the more perks you get!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Southampton with Expedia?
Pick up an amazing 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 leading home suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Southampton car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southampton?
In Southampton, the requirement is generally 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Southampton?
Unlike the U.S, people in Southampton drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.
What is the cheapest car rental in Southampton?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've slid into the driver's seat of a holiday home car for just AU$70 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Southampton was AU$79. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and lock in a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Southampton supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
