How old do you have to be to rent a car in Windermere?

Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before you book so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Windermere?

Where can I find a Windermere car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Windermere outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
