How old do you have to be to rent a car in Margate?
In Margate, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It’s a good idea to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Margate?
Most home companies will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through 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 Margate?
If you’re renting a car in Margate or planning a big road trip in Australia, you’ll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Margate?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we’ll list incredible offers from a range of trusted suppliers.
Where can I find a Margate car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Margate holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It’s good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
