Looking for car hire with a free additional driver? You’re in the right place. Here at Indigo Car Hire, we’re proud to work with a number of suppliers who offer free additional driver car rental.
We recognise that driving can be stressful, especially if you are in a foreign country. Our free additional driver car rental service means that you can share the driving and take the stress out of car hire.
Whether you’re planning a holiday to the sunny heights of Spain or the cold mountains of France, our free extra driver car rental option gives you the ability to share the driving and cover more miles.
We would suggest taking this option if it is available to you, as even if you are not planning to share the driving, you can ensure that you’re never caught out if the need arises.
Can I Get Car Hire With An Additional Driver?
When you rent a car, only the named driver is insured to drive the vehicle. This means that if you require car hire with an additional driver, then you will need to make arrangements for this when making the booking.
Adding an additional driver often comes with an extra cost. However, we work with certain suppliers who offer car hire with a free extra driver. But, please be aware that if you wish to add a driver to your policy, they will be subject to the same conditions as the named driver.
How To Hire A Car With A Free Additional Driver
There are no specific restrictions that apply when you add an additional driver to the policy. Instead, the restrictions are the same as if you were to hire a car yourself. These are as follows….
- The 21 or over age restriction still applies*
- The additional driver needs to have held a licence for at least a year prior to hiring the vehicle
- There must be under 6 points (9 in some locations) on the additional driver’s licence and no major convictions
*If you are under the age of 25 then you may be subject to a young driver additional daily fee. This depends on location.
Avoid The Additional Driver Fee
When booking with Indigo Car Hire, you can save on the extra cost often associated with adding an additional driver to your rental.
We can arrange for free additional driver car rental in several different countries, airports and cities worldwide. There are a few locations where we can find this deal more often than others, such as within the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Australia.

Should I Add A Second Driver?
Most of the time it’s free to add a second driver. So, naturally, we think that you should jump at the chance.
However, adding a second driver can sometimes be more effort than it’s worth. This is because the other driver needs to provide their documents in order to be able to hire the vehicle, just like the main driver does. So, make sure you have access to these before you make a booking.
