What types of cars can I rent in Cardiff?
Affordability, ease of parking and excellent mileage are among the reasons compact vehicles are the top pick in Cardiff. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city exploring. They're a good match for couples, solo travellers and families on a budget. Of course, how you cruise around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or get more legroom with a full-size or an intermediate. After some luxury? You'll love our premium options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cardiff?
Cardiff is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to explore the wider region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Nashville is 193 kilometres from Cardiff. Famous tourist attractions like Grand Ole Opry deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Located 193 kilometres away, Asheville is also popular with wanderers. Set aside time to check out Biltmore Estate while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this vibrant city.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Cardiff with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your preferred ride and compare prices from top brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Cardiff car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cardiff?
Rental vehicle rules in Cardiff require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cardiff?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cardiff?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Cardiff car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Cardiff providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
