No problems! If you can cancel your prepaid rental more than six hours before picking up the car, you’re likely to qualify for a complete refund. Be sure to read your cancellation policy as there are some exclusions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Dorset?
Slide behind the wheel of a compact vehicle in Dorset and you’ll be in fine company. The most sought-after rental car type, these rides are easy on the wallet, good on gas and a breeze to park. With a compact vehicle, you’ll easily maneuver around busy city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Browse our range of larger rental categories including full-size and premium. However you want to roll, we’ll have your ideal ride.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Dorset with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dorset?
Generally, the requirement is 21 years and over in Dorset. It’s worth noting that most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers. Check before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Dorset?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
Can I drive in Dorset with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can. But also consider getting an International Driving Permit. With that and your U.S. License, you’re sure to have all your bases covered for driving around Dorset.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dorset?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose your ideal ride. Whether you’re stopping in Dorset or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Dorset car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Dorset supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re interested in will have all the information you need.
