Requirements to hire a vehicle
To hire a car in the United Kingdom, you will generally need to meet the following requirements when collecting the vehicle:
- Driving licence: You must present a valid and current driving licence, held for at least one or two years (depending on the company). If your licence is not in English or was not issued in the UK/EU, you will most likely need an International Driving Permit.
- Proof of identity: Original passport or valid national identity document.
- Credit card: A credit card in the name of the main driver is required to secure the security deposit hold. Debit cards often have restrictions or may not be accepted for this purpose.
- Minimum age: Although the legal driving age is lower, most agencies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers under 25 are usually subject to an additional “young driver” surcharge.
- DVLA check code: If you hold a UK driving licence, you may need to generate a check code on the DVLA website so the agency can verify your penalty points record.

5 tips for renting a car abroad
- Make sure your driver's license is valid in the destination country. Some countries also require an International Driving Permit (IDP). Keep in mind that the IDP is not valid on its own: it must always be carried together with your national driver's license.
- Check the documents and insurance required by local traffic laws, and what coverage is included in your rental (collision damage waiver, third-party liability, deductible).
- Learn the traffic rules of the destination country: speed limits on highways and city streets, right of way at intersections without traffic lights, blood alcohol limits, tolls, etc.
- Check which side of the road traffic drives on, and whether the steering wheel is on the same side as in your home country.
- Know what to do if you are involved in a traffic accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
