Tips for hiring a car in England
Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in England including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 17 September 2025.
- Many cities and towns throughout England have Low Emission Zones or Ultra Low Emission Zones in place in their city centres. These may be in place 24/7 or just during certain busy periods during the day. Generally, cars that don't meet the restrictions will incur a modest fee to enter these areas. However, in some areas, certain types of vehicles are completely restricted and entering these zones will incur a fine. Many zones will only restrict particularly large vehicles like trucks and buses, while others cover a wider range of vehicles. Make sure you double-check before you travel, as they vary significantly between locations.
- Depending on the region, in some rural areas you may be sharing the road with not just other cars and bicycles but also people on horseback. If someone is leading or riding a horse on the road, you must slow to at least 10 mph (about 16km/h) before passing them and you must maintain at least 2 metres of distance. Make sure not to rapidly accelerate or sound your horn, including after you've passed, as this may startle the animal. Horses and riders will usually be wearing reflective gear but it's still important to keep a close eye out when driving at night.
- In England, children travelling in a vehicle must use a child restraint or booster seat until they are either 135 cm tall or 12 years old, whichever comes first. Children younger than 15 months must be in a rear-facing child restraint. You can use EU-approved height- or weight-based seats and they must be properly fitted. While you can bring your own, most car hire companies in England can provide child seats and this will ensure the seat complies with the necessary regulations.

Car hire FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in England, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 17 September 2025.
Should I hire a car in England?
Hiring a car is a great idea for your next trip to England. Many historic sites in England, including castles and estates, are much easier to reach with a car versus public transport. For example, reaching Stonehenge from London takes around 2h 30min and involves several connections if you take public transport. With a car, you can make the drive in roughly 1h 40min. Many of the country's castles are also easier to reach via car than public transport. For example, you can drive directly to Warwick Castle, but if you take public transport you will need to walk the final distance from Warwick Station, around 15min away.
What is driving like in England?
Driving in England will vary greatly depending on where and when you're driving. For example, the roads in London will almost always be busy, especially during peak hours (between around 6 am and 9 am and 4 pm and 7 pm). As you venture outside the cities you will encounter fewer vehicles and more unsealed roads. Bear in mind that not all car hire companies in England will allow their vehicles to be driven on unsealed roads. Toll roads aren't common in England but there are a few notable ones, including the M6 and the Dartford River Crossing. At these toll points, you'll find booths where you can pay via card or cash.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in England?
By law, the minimum age for car hire in England is 17; however, most companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Some companies, such as Avis, require that drivers in England be 23 years old or older, while most companies will charge a Young Driver's Surcharge for those under 25. This is usually charged as an additional daily rate and will apply if any drivers are under 25. You will need your valid driver's licence and your passport.
