Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Southampton car reservation?
We know that flexibility is important. That’s why most prepaid bookings provide a full refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car. It’s still good to scan your rental policy though as there are some exceptions. If there’s nothing specified there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Southampton?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I drive in Southampton with my U.S. Driver's license?
You certainly can. But also consider obtaining an International Driving Permit. With both your license and a permit, you’ll have all the bases covered for driving in and around Southampton.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southampton?
You can. We partner with trusted providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car classes. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Southampton — or beyond!
Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to book a rental in Southampton, you’ll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
