How old do you have to be to rent a car in Brightwater?
Home vehicle rules in Brightwater require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply.

What do you need to rent a car in Brightwater?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between home suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Brightwater?
In Brightwater, you’ll need to drive on the left. Be aware that the driver’s seat will also be on the opposite side to what you’re familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission if you haven’t driven on the left before.
