How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mermaid Beach?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Mermaid Beach. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 expect an extra fee. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before making your reservation. Companies also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Mermaid Beach?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mermaid Beach?
You’ll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Mermaid Beach. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. Allow a bit of extra time to get the hang of your new car before you hit the open road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Mermaid Beach?
AU$70 and AU$76 were the two lowest daily prices for holiday home cars in Mermaid Beach within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Mermaid Beach?
Yes, and the great news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Mermaid Beach and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Mermaid Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in Mermaid Beach, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
