How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bristol?
Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Bristol. You should be aware that most outlets will charge a young renter fee.

Where can I find a Bristol car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Bristol outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific!
