Rules vary between outlets, so be sure to read the fine print.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Stansted?

If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Stansted with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in England, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able 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 ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
