                Car Hire Age Restrictions

                Often when looking to source a rental vehicle you have a mass of options available to you. This may not be the case if you do not meet the age requirements for car hire. Please see below for a list of our terms in relation to age restrictions for car hire.

                What Are The Age Restrictions For Car Hire?

                The general age requirements to hire a vehicle are from the age of 25-75, however if you are under 25 or over 75 we can still assist you, but it is recommended that you contact us directly.

                Young Driver Car Hire

                The minimum age to collect a car hire is 21 years old. However, you have to have been driving on a full and clean driving licence for more than 2 years. If you are under 25 we recommend you contact us directly so you are placed with a supplier with a low young driver’s fee. Enquire on young driver car hire with Indigo.

                Senior Driver Car Hire

                We work with various suppliers offering senior car hire. We can rent to people up to the age of 99, however, if you are over 75, please contact us directly to ensure you are placed with the appropriate supplier.

                What Is The Minimum Age To Rent A Luxury Car?

                Most suppliers require you to be at least 30 years of age to hire a luxury vehicle.

                What Is The Minimum Age For Taking A Vehicle Overseas?

                Generally you must be 25 to take a vehicle overseas, however if you are between the ages of 21-25, we may be able to help you.

                If you have a further query about this then please contact us by phone, email or our new online chat function at the bottom of the page and we will be happy to help.

                Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

                If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

                When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

                Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

                Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

                In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
