It’s always a good idea to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do some research. Managed to find a Southampton supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Southampton?
A thorough insurance plan is a fantastic idea for your upcoming Southampton escape. That’s why we recommend purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It’s possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and whether you need it.
