The minimum age to rent a car in London 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 UK.
