Am I too old to hire a car?

Find out how what the maximum age for car hire is, and see how policies change for older drivers wanting to hire a car.

Almost certainly not! Our car hire rental comparison service offers car rentals for drivers up to the age of 98 or 99 (dependent on location). We can normally find some enlightened companies who have no age limit at all.

What's even better is that we have an excess insurance company who has no age limits now when it comes to providing cover for mature drivers.

This means that we can now offer policies whether you are 80, 90, or even over 100!

One advantage of the MoneyMaxim car hire comparison service is that it will automatically add any age related premiums, enabling quick comparisons to be made for drivers aged from 21 to 99.

Our in house car hire broker Clarify Car Hire also cleverly includes any mandatory insurance policies that are required by the rental company for older drivers so by using them you can avoid having to carefully trawl through all the terms and conditions to watch out for such requirements.
