How old do you have to be to rent a car in Birmingham?
Rental vehicle rules in Birmingham require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Birmingham?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets in Birmingham, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Birmingham?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a ride to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Birmingham car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Birmingham rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
