Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Gatwick Airport (LGW)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. Once you arrive, make a beeline for the rental car centre in the arrivals hall. Here you can arrange your ride with reliable companies like Alamo, Sixt and Avis. If you'd like some more options, check out the deals from Europcar and Enterprise.
What happens if I need to cancel my Brighton car reservation?
We know that plans change at the last moment. That's why many prepaid bookings offer your money back if you cancel six hours prior to the collection time. Your cancellation policy should contain all the information you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Brighton?
Keep it simple with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the number one choice in Brighton. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're cruising around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort while still getting a wonderful deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Brighton?
Brighton is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and take to the road to see what's in the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:
  • You'll discover Big Ben and loads of other interesting sights in London. From Brighton, it's about 72 kilometres away.
  • Your next pit stop? Oxford, which is around 129 kilometres away. Christ Church College is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Make your way to Sherwood Forest Country Park to feel grounded in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Brighton, it's around 274 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Brighton?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in Brighton. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before booking your ride. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Brighton?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets, generally the essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Brighton?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Brighton drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car before driving off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Brighton?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Brighton, so go on and extend that holiday! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Brighton car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Brighton often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
