How old do you have to be to rent a car in Empire Bay?
Empire Bay requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Empire Bay?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Empire Bay?
In Empire Bay, like all of Australia, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it’s your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Empire Bay?
Yes, and the terrific news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Empire Bay and drive off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find an Empire Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car under the age of 25 in Empire Bay often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your selected car company to avoid any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
