How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cowes?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around Cowes in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Cowes?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

Some Cowes providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cowes?
After perfectly planning your big trip, don't scrimp on safety — choose collision protection while booking your Cowes car rental with Expedia. There are many advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you can breathe a little easier should the unexpected occur.
Can I drive in Cowes with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in England, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places 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: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
