Common Questions
How old must I be to hire a car in Brighton?
st car companies in the UK require drivers to be between the ages of 25 and 70 in order to hire a car. However, some companies will relax this age restriction and allow you to hire a car if you are under 25 but older than 21.
If you fit in this age bracket, be aware that a youth surcharge may apply and you may face restrictions on the type and size of rental cars that are available to you.
As these charges and restrictions differ depending on the rental car companies, it is best to check the total price breakdown in order to work out this cost. Include any questions in the comments field when making your booking and the DriveNow Res team will follow up on your behalf.
Do I need an international drivers permit (IDP)?
If your licence is in English, and is a full licence, you do not need an IDP when you rent in the UK. However, if it is in another language you will require an IDP. You should carry both your licence and the permit when you drive.
What are the road rules I need to be aware of in the UK?
Cars on UK roads drive on the left. Distance and speed are measured in miles. However, petrol is measured in litres.
If you are on a motorway, the speed limit will be 70mph. For major highways, the limit is 60mph and in urban areas you don't want to exceed 30mph unless otherwise signposted. Speed limits across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are uniform and enforced with speed cameras.
Seatbelts are required, and if you have children under 12 years old or less than 135 cm high, they must be fitted into a child booster seat. This can be included in your rental car booking.
What additional extras can I hire alongside my rental car?
You can also hire a car seat, satellite navigation system and additional insurance or a Collision Damage Waiver when you pick up your vehicle.
A Collision Damage Waiver reduces the amount you need to pay if you are involved in an accident. This charge averages around £10.00 per day and varies between suppliers.
