How old do you have to be to rent a car in Margate?

While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Margate?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Margate?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Margate drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before getting on the road.

Where can I find a Margate car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Margate outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
