How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?
Bristol requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Bristol?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bristol?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Bristol drive on the left side of the road. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the car before starting your journey.
What is the cheapest car rental in Bristol?

These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bristol?
You can, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Bristol and drive away with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Bristol. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bristol?
Start your road trip on the right foot by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency help. Don't wait until you get to the rental desk to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Bristol ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Bristol with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in England, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
