For free cancellation any time up to the day of booking simply choose the ‘pay later’ option while booking meaning less worry and more flexibility.
In the UK the minimum age is 21 years old for standard, smaller vehicles, though be aware you must hold a valid licence for at least a year and charges apply.
If you are ending the journey at a different drop-off point please select the location during the booking to check if this is an available option. Charges can apply otherwise.
Although we can offer one-way car hire domestically it is not possible to cross any international borders, even if you are bringing the vehicle back to its original location.
In the UK you must always drive on the left-hand side of the road. Please pay attention to all speed signs and you stop at every stop sign and red/orange traffic light.
