  • What are the requirements to hire a car in York?

    Before finalising your car hire in York and picking up the vehicle, you'll need to understand the process and what requirements you'll need to meet before you arrive.

You'll need to have had your licence for at least 12 months before picking up a hired car in York. If you don't have an EU or UK licence, your home-country licence must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit. Before arriving, make sure you have your confirmation details printed out, a valid credit card and photo identification, like a passport.
