How do I find the best car rental deals in London with Expedia?
It's easy to track down an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from top providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your London car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in London?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in London. Be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Read the fine print before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in London?
Before you can hit the road in London, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in London?
In London and across England, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself some extra time to get to your next stop.
What is the cheapest car rental in London?
London has no doubt had some happy rental car customers lately. The lowest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were $40 and $41. 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 London?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll list fabulous offers from various trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a London car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in London, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in London?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise idea for your upcoming London trip. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have 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.
Can I drive in London with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in England, then you might need to apply for 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 won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental 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 over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
