Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Guildford?
Before you can take the wheel in Guildford, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Guildford?
If you're renting a car in Guildford, you'll have to stick to the left. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
