How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cheltenham?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Cheltenham is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before you book and factor in any extra costs.

What do you need to rent a car in Cheltenham?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cheltenham?
People in Cheltenham drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some extra time getting familiar with your rental car before getting on the road.

Where can I find a Cheltenham car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Cheltenham rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
