Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my London car reservation?
Cancelling a prepaid reservation with at least six hours notice should allow for a total refund. But this is not always guaranteed. It's a good idea to check your itinerary and rental agreement. Still stuck for answers? Hop on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in London?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the most popular in London. If you want something small and affordable, but not too small, this category of rental car is a smart choice. Navigating bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are a little roomier than economy models and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in London?
In most cases, you need to be 21 years and over in London. Be aware that most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers.

What do you need to rent a car in London?
Before you can get behind the wheel in London, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.

Where can I find a London car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a London outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific!
