How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mthatha?
Mthatha requires drivers to be at least 18 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual home rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Mthatha?
The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your home agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mthatha?
In Mthatha, get ready to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be careful and concentrate when you’re at the steering wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Mthatha?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Mthatha, so don’t hestitate to extend your well-deserved holiday! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Mthatha car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Mthatha holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 some companies will charge extra costs. It’s best to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
