How old do you have to be to rent a car in Durham?
Durham rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Durham?
The main things are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Durham?
If you're renting a vehicle in Durham or road-tripping around England, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
What is the cheapest car rental in Durham?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the cheapest daily rate was CA $86. The next best price to rent a ride in Durham was CA $88 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip details and we'll list fabulous options from various reliable suppliers.
Where can I find a Durham car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Durham rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
