Flying into Manchester for a we trip to Alton towers, hoped to hire a car but at 20 its proving quite difficult..

Does anyone know of any company who hire cars to 20 year olds??

Thanks

You are going to struggle as most rental's require you to be over 21, with additional charges if under 25

Alton Towers is near Birmingham.

You could get a train but it will be a very short day, especially if your flying back the same day.

If you're a student and a member of the NSU you can get Hertz rental from 19 (or 20). Or you could when I joined up to uni last year.

Mate if you have a NSU card can you check if thats still possible?? As Sixt site says minimum age 21, but in NSU webside its saying 19+? Dont want to spend £11 quid on a card ill never use if its not going to get me a hire car lol..

Thanks!

Prepare to be raped for the excess if you find somewhere. I had to put a grand on my credit card at 21 lol

My bad, I meant NUS. Anyway - see here for details!

Might be worth making a call or two as it say 'London area'. Good luck.

Meant to say, I don't have a NUS card myself, never bothered with one - sorry.
