Bringing the kids with you? Child car seat laws vary according to the location, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Find out if you need to add one to your Bath car hire booking.
You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
