How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Home vehicle rules in Heidelberg require drivers to be 18 and above. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home suppliers impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Heidelberg?
If you’re renting a car in Heidelberg or planning a road trip around South Africa, you’ll be driving on the left. Also, the driver’s seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Heidelberg?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and reserve a set of wheels that’s all yours for however long you need.
Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Heidelberg companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
