How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?

What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your vehicle.

Requirements are likely to differ between rental suppliers, so it’s always a good idea to check before you book.
