What do you need to rent a car in Bournemouth?

Can I drive in Bournemouth with my U.S. Driver's license?

Where can I find a Bournemouth car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Bournemouth rental providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25, some will charge additional fees. It’s best to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
