Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Birmingham car reservation?
You should get a full refund on your prepaid rental if you notify us at least six hours before the collection time. Read through your rental agreement for all the info. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Birmingham?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Birmingham. They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're visiting cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Birmingham?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a car in Birmingham. Bear in mind that rental outlets will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are generally restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Browse the terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Birmingham?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Birmingham?
Whether you're planning to stick around Birmingham or explore beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Birmingham car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Birmingham supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
