How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?
Rental vehicle rules in Cardiff require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cardiff?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Cardiff car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Cardiff providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
