What types of cars can I rent in Paddington?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many rental customers in Paddington. With excellent gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're perfect for getting around the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little extra comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Paddington?
Paddington offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the surrounding region. Here are some great options:

  • Make tracks to Oxford for an excellent sightseeing experience. Approximately 80 kilometres from Paddington, it's home to many inspiring sights, including Christ Church College.
  • Why not check out everything on offer in Bristol too? Notable attractions to see here include Cabot Circus Shopping Centre. Bristol is 161 kilometres from Paddington.
  • Norton Priory Museum is around 257 kilometres from Paddington and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Paddington with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your favourite ride and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Paddington car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Paddington?
In most cases, you need to be 21 years and over in Paddington. Be aware that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Paddington?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Paddington?
In Paddington, 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 other side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and allow extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Paddington?
Yes, and you can find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list amazing options from various quality suppliers.
Where can I find a Paddington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Paddington outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
