How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ararat?

What side of the road do you drive on in Ararat?
You’ll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Ararat. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. Allow for extra time to get familiar with your new wheels before driving off.

Where can I find an Ararat car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are found in Ararat. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
