Requirements to Rent a Vehicle

To rent a car in the United Kingdom, you will generally need to meet the following requirements:

• Driving licence: You must present a valid driving licence that has been held for at least one year. If your licence is not in English or does not include a photograph, you will likely need an International Driving Permit.
• Minimum age: Most agencies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Please note that drivers under 25 are usually subject to a “young driver” surcharge.
• Credit card: A credit card in the name of the main driver is required to place the security deposit hold.
• Identification: A valid passport or national identity document.
• Verification code (DVLA): If you hold a licence issued in the United Kingdom, you may need to generate a verification code on the DVLA website before collection.
