How old do you have to be to rent a car in Carlton?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Carlton. It’s worth noting that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Check before you choose your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Carlton?
Any home company you choose will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Carlton?
In Carlton, prepare to drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so minimize distractions and concentrate when you’re behind the wheel.

Carlton has had some very happy holiday home car customers lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as AU$81 and AU$183.

Where can I find a Carlton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Carlton holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some outlets will charge extra costs. It’s useful to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
