What happens if I need to cancel my Minstead car reservation?

Your rental policy should have all the information you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in Minstead?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spaces are no issue for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Minstead. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Minstead can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Minstead?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and over can rent a car in Minstead. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee.

Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Minstead?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Minstead?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Minstead drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before getting on the road.

Where can I find a Minstead car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Minstead providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
