What do you need to rent a car in Freshwater?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Freshwater?
Cars drive on the left in Freshwater. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side. Set aside some extra time to get the hang of your ride before hitting the road.

This depends on the car rental companies that are in Freshwater. They often have different age policies.
