Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Plymouth, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 29 March 2024.
  • What do I need to hire a car in Plymouth?

    If you're planning on hiring a car in Plymouth, you'll need to be aware of some of the requirements you'll need to meet and other things worth knowing. The majority of car hire companies require you to be 21 years old and to have had a licence for at least 12 months. If you're under 25, you'll likely incur a surcharge for being a young driver, on top of the car hire fee. To pick up your car hire in Plymouth, you'll need to present your valid UK driving licence and the credit card used to make the booking. The owner of the card must be present. You'll also need to bring along photo identification, preferably a passport.

  • What are the driving rules in Plymouth?

    In order to keep yourself and others safe while driving your cheap car hire in Plymouth, you'll need to be aware of some of the local laws. Keep up to date with rules laid out by the local transport department, so you know if local laws are changing. Keep in mind that, like the rest of the UK, traffic flows on the left-hand side of the road and passes on the right-hand side. There are no Plymouth-specific driving laws, but you'll need to adhere to the UK standards. Driving under the influence of alcohol is forbidden, and the legal blood alcohol content is 0.08%. Not adhering to this law could result in jail time and/or a very heavy fine. You must wear a seatbelt at all times while in the car, and you may not use a mobile phone unless it’s accompanied by a hands-free device.

    When choosing the right car hire in Plymouth, bear in mind that, like throughout most of England, the roads can be pretty narrow with plenty of turns.
