The minimum age to rent a car in the United Kingdom is 21. Rental age requirements change by supplier, and some suppliers charge a young driver surcharge for car renters under 25. The young driver surcharge is expensive in the UK and can vary between $30 and $40 per day.
Some rental car suppliers in the UK will also have a maximum age limit. Drivers over 70 should pay close attention to age restrictions during booking and be sure they don't need additional documentation to pick up their car rental in the United Kingdom.
Travelers from the United States and Canada can pick up a vehicle in the UK and drive off the rental agency lot with a domestic driver's license in good standing and valid for at least one year. If the driver is not a citizen of the United Kingdom, a passport must also be produced. That being said, it is highly recommended that travelers planning to drive in the United Kingdom acquire an international driver's permit (IDP), which can be purchased from your local CAA branch for only CAD 31.
Most UK rental car categories can be driven anywhere in Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. However, it is necessary to purchase additional insurance coverage for travel outside the mainland UK. This coverage costs $17 - $30 CAD per day and covers roadside assistance, green card insurance, and customs and excise forms for taking cars on ferries.
Depending on your car insurance policy, a rental car in Canada may be covered. We recommend contacting your insurance provider for more information regarding your coverage.
