Is the "Young Driver Surcharge" fee the same for all car rental companies in the UK?
Upvote:7
No, these fees may vary, as may the age range they are applied for. Note also these change significantly between countries (and in some cases even between locations within a country).
Some of the main supplier's conditions in the UK:
Supplier MinAge Fee NoFeeAge
Alamo 22 £27^ 25
Avis 21 £45 25
Budget 23 £39" 25
Enterprise 25 ? 25°
Europcar 22 £31 25
Hertz 23 £31" 25
National 22 £27^ 25
Sixt 21 £36 25*
Thrifty 21 £25" 25
"incl. tax - suppliers with no note may or may not be incl. tax
^excl. tax - suppliers with no note may or may not be incl. tax
°Enterprise is not very clear; the selection form allows selecting age 18-24, but the terms say minimum age 25. Also the selection form returns an error saying 'some locations' may have age restrictions on all UK locations I have checked.
*Sixt is not consistent in what is says on it's site. The Rental Guide says ages 21-23 will face the charge and mentions neither car classes on the amount payable, the Rental Information says all drivers below 25 pay £36 and lists a range of car classes which basically comprises all available for hire below the age of 25.
One additional note for the northern regions: Arnold Clark rents cars without young driver surcharges in some locations - T&C.
Here are links to the relevant pages of the mentioned suppliers - with the exception of Avis which does not allow direct linking to any useful page it seems: Alamo Budget, Europcar, Hertz, National, Thrifty
