How old do I have to be to hire a car?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions we get through the phones, how old do I have to be to hire a car? This is Due to stereotypes and statistics fresh faced drivers aren’t allowed to hire a car as they are seen as an unnecessary risk. Due to this car hire companies usually only allow people over 25 to hire a car as its seen as less of a risk as they are perceived to be more sensible, a debatable point of view. You will also find that if you are under the guideline age of 25 it’s almost impossible to hire a car.

We say “almost” impossible because we are one of very few companies that offer this fairly unique service in which we allow people from the age of 21 to hire a car. However given that you are 21 you must have had your licence for two years. Also unfortunately you will have to pay a young driver fee, the amount of this depends on the location and the car hire company which we refer you too, the good news is that we can do some discounts with the young driver fee to make it more affordable for you, things like if you were to hire at Antalya airport for example we have managed to reduce fees down to around £5-6 per day which is a tiny amount compared to the normal price which averages around £30 a day. Don’t be put off by the price of this excess fee straight away and find out if we can do a deal for you.
