How old do you have to be to rent a car in Penarth?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and above can rent a car in Penarth. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before booking your wheels. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Penarth?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Penarth?
Unlike the U.S, people in Penarth drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before starting your journey.

You can. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for many categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Penarth — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Penarth car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Penarth providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
