Still have some queries? If you can't find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in London?
Keep costs low with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the top choice in London. They're a snap to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a great idea if you're driving around bustling cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that's still nice.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in London?
Usually, the rules are 21 years and over in London. Be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Read the fine print before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in London?
Before you can hit the road in London, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in London?
In London and across England, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself some extra time to get to your next stop.
What is the cheapest car rental in London?
London has no doubt had some happy rental car customers lately. The lowest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were NZ$75 and NZ$76. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in London?
Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll list fabulous offers from various trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a London car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in London, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25  some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
