Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Cumbria car reservation?
Browse over the rental agreement to be certain, but nearly all prepaid rentals will receive a complete refund if you let us know more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. There are some exemptions though. Your itinerary will have more info, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Cumbria?
Affordability, ease of parking and terrific mileage are just a few reasons compact vehicles are the preference in Cumbria. Their smaller size makes them ideal for getting around the city. They’re a good fit for couples, solo adventurers and budget-conscious families. Of course, how you cruise around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or stretch out in a full-size or an intermediate. Chasing a little luxury? Check out our premium rides.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Cumbria with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Cumbria car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cumbria?
Rental car rules in Cumbria require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Most rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cumbria?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I drive in Cumbria with my U.S. Driver's license?
The great news is yes. The roads of Cumbria await and your current U.S. License is all you need to cruise down them. Before your departure date, consider applying for an International Driving Permit as another valid proof of identity.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cumbria?
You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Cumbria and drive off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Cumbria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Cumbria providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
