This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between providers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.

Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Portsmouth City Centre?
If you're renting a vehicle in Portsmouth City Centre or road-tripping around England, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Portsmouth City Centre?

Where can I find a Portsmouth City Centre car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Portsmouth City Centre rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
