Frequently Asked Questions about Renting a Car at an Airport in London

Is there an additional fee for picking up a rental car at an Airport in London?

When booking a rental car in the UK at an airport, it is not uncommon for travelers to be assessed a convenience fee or airport drop fee associated with your rental car booking. IF this fee is applied to your Auto Europe rental in London, you can find the information in the Rate Details of your car rental voucher.

Can I Pick-up a Car Rental at a London Airport with my Canadian License?

Travelers to London will be happy to learn an International Driving Permit is not required for you to drive your rental car in London and the United Kingdom. As most travelers are well aware, vehicles travel in the left-hand lane, unlike driving in Canada, and can take a little getting used to for first timers. Despite it not being a requirement, Auto Europe recommends obtaining an international driving permit when they travel abroad. Find more information on IDP's in the UK with Auto Europe today.

What is the Age Requirement for Booking a Rental Car at One of London's Airports?

Most car rental suppliers we work with at airports in London will rent a vehicle to travelers as young as 21 years old. Some suppliers do add an additional young driver fee for drivers under the age of 25. Check your voucher or contact Auto Europe to see if you can get this fee waived or find a supplier who does not add this fee.
