How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bedford?
Bedford rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Bedford?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bedford?
If you're renting a car in Bedford or planning a road trip around England, remember that you'll be driving 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 unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Where can I find a Bedford car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Bedford rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
