Guide
Which cars can you rent from 21?
From 21, many rental companies offer you compact and mid-size cars, estates, people carriers and SUVs, occasionally sporty models too. Premium and sports cars often require 23 or 25. This page only shows cars with a minimum age of 21 or lower.
Young driver surcharge and excess
Some rental companies charge a surcharge per day or per rental up to a certain age, often 25. The excess may also be higher for young drivers. A protection package such as Smart or Sorglos reduces it. So compare the total price rather than just the daily rate.
Licence duration counts too
Besides your age, rental companies check how long you've held your driving licence. One to three years are often required, more for powerful cars. The “Licence held since” filter shows you straight away which offers are an option. Always bring your original licence to pick-up.
