How old do you have to be to rent a car in Exeter?
Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the road in Exeter in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply.

Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Exeter?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets in Exeter, the basics are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Exeter?
In Exeter and across England, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.
