How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southampton?
In Southampton, the requirement is usually 21 and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print carefully before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between home companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly homes for many car classes. Check out our long-term car rental deals and discover every bit of Southampton — or beyond!
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 in Southampton often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape extra costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
