Any home company you select will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider’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 collect your car.

If you’re renting a car in Southampton or planning a big road trip in Australia, be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the driver’s seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Southampton and drive off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are found in Southampton. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
