What happens if I need to cancel my Preston car reservation?
There are always times when plans change. That's why we give your money back on many bookings if cancelled a minimum of six hours before picking up the car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Preston?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Preston is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Preston?
The main things are 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 be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Preston?
Motorists in Preston drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a little extra time getting familiar with your car before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Preston?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Preston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Preston providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
