Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Tresco car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid rentals if cancelled at least six hours ahead of the pickup time. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — there are some cases where it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent on Tresco?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Tresco. Offering great gas mileage and easy handling, they're well-suited to navigating the island. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a bit more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car on Tresco?

What do you need to rent a car on Tresco?
The main things are a full, valid driver's license and a credit card. Ensure that both are in the driver's name. Have more than one driver in your party? They must also be present at the time of pickup and provide the same documents. Check your rental policy for details about any insurance you may need too.
What side of the road do you drive on on Tresco?
On Tresco and around England, you drive on the left. If you've never driven on this side of the road before, find out where everything is in your car before motoring off and reduce your speed.
Can I drive in Tresco with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, as long as your U.S. License is valid, you can legally get behind the wheel on Tresco. However, if you intend to rent a car on the island, consider applying for an International Driving Permit before you leave home. They're relatively straightforward to obtain and can be used as further proof of identity.

Yes, you can experience the incredible scenery of Tresco for a month or longer in one of our rentals. Just enter your travel dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and we'll track down the best long-term car rental deals available.
Where can I find a Tresco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies will likely differ between Tresco rental providers, so you'll need to check before you book if you're under 25. In addition, see if a young renter's fee applies. Having a solid understanding of the terms and conditions will help you avoid any hold-ups and misunderstandings at the rental counter.
