UK car hire

UK car hire

Postby Ron Hill » Wed Dec 07, 2022 8:04 am

I'll be going back to UK early in New Year to visit family. I'm a UK citizen and have a Spanish driving licence and I'm aged 72. Will I be able to hire a car in UK given age. I understand many firms won't hire to over 70 or apply a hefty surcharge. I don't think there'd be a problem with Spanis licence

I’ve heard of the same about drivers who are 70 +, either refused the hire or insurance premiums heavily loaded. Might be best to look at some of the smaller independent rental companies. What airport are you flying into?

I hired a car from one of the rental companies at Stansted Airport in November ‘21. I am the same age as you with a Spanish driving licence. If you are booking online just be sure to declare your age. There is usually a drop down box on the booking form where you can do this. Safe trip

I was thinking Enterprise as they have an office at Edinburgh airport if I fly, and also in the city of Stirling where I'm going
