Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and above can rent a car in Brighton. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before booking your ride. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

What side of the road do you drive on in Brighton?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Brighton drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the car before driving off.

It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
