  • Boasting sights and activities galore, Cardiff is about 56 kilometres from Swansea. First up on the itinerary? Make a beeline for Principality Stadium, one of this city’s highlights.
  • About 56 kilometres away, Bangor is another location worthy of a place on your road trip itinerary. You’ll want to check out Zip World Penrhyn Quarry during your stay.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Swansea?
In Swansea, the rule is 21 and over. Most companies 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 specialty cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It’s always a good idea to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Swansea?
Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home companies, so it’s always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Swansea?
In Swansea, like all of Wales, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if you’ve never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Swansea?
You can. We partner with trusted providers that offer weekly and monthly homes for all car types. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Swansea — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Swansea car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Found a Swansea supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
