How do I find the best car rental deals in Hamilton with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your favorite ride and compare prices from top providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Hamilton car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive away with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hamilton?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the road in Hamilton in a rental vehicle. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Hamilton?
The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hamilton?
People in Hamilton drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take some time getting to know your new car before venturing out.
What is the cheapest car rental in Hamilton?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental car in Hamilton was just $88. The next best price was $89 per day. 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 Hamilton?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Hamilton or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Hamilton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Hamilton rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's good to know this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hamilton?
It's a good idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Hamilton rental car against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers round-the-clock emergency support and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Hamilton with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Scotland, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
