What age do you have to be to rent a car in Swansea?

Typically, to rent a car in Swansea you must be at least 21—the same as it is across the rest of the country. However, you might need to pay a surcharge if you're under 25. Be sure to review the rental agreement to find what the exact charge is before you rent your vehicle.

Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Swansea?

When driving in Swansea or the rest of Great Britain, you will need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you pick up your automobile. The majority of countries require the driver to have insurance. You may be able to pay for interim coverage with the rental agency.

But many of them have restrictions, like not covering larger vehicles like trucks or SUVs. It is best to call and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you travel to Swansea.

If you wish to explore all that Swansea offers, you're going to need unlimited miles. You can drive as far as you'd like without worrying about additional charges. Read the fine print to be certain your mileage is truly "unlimited."

Know before you go

Before you get going on your Swansea adventure, check out a few things before you leave the rental lot. It's important to:

• Inspect the vehicle and be certain there is no dents or scratches. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
