No need to stress. You should get a complete refund if you notify us at least six hours before picking up the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid homes result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to check your home policy.

Economy, premium, full-size … The choice is yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Southampton. If you’d like something economical and small, but not too small, this rental car category is the perfect choice. Driving around bustling streets will be easy in one of these. Compact cars offer a bit more room compared to economy models and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

Finding an awesome deal on your Southampton rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices from popular suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You’ll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southampton?
Southampton rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Southampton, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the home company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a home supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Southampton?
If you get behind the wheel in Southampton, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you’re familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission to make things easier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
Whether you have plans to stop in Southampton or journey beyond, you can reserve a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Southampton outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
