Over 65 and car hire
Renting a car for people over 65 requires special attention. This is because some agencies apply an additional surcharge for drivers who exceed this age threshold and - in some cases - impose a maximum age limit for rental around 70 - 75 years.
Other agencies, however, don't impose limits or surcharges and you must always keep in mind that conditions change from country to country.
Let's see in detail how the main rental companies behave in UK.
Which to choose?
Europcar, Keddy and Budget
These three companies set the maximum rental age limit at 70. For customers with a higher age, exceptions are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Avis, Sixt and Easirent
These three companies set the maximum rental age limit at 75. For customers with a higher age, exceptions are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Green Motion
This company sets the maximum rental age limit at 75. For customers with a higher age, exceptions are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise, Flizzr and National
These companies do not impose age limits: if the license is valid, or renewed by the competent authorities, with these agencies you can rent without problems.
