Question 5

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

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Newcastle?

Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Newcastle?

Accepted Answer

If you're renting a car in Newcastle or planning a road trip around South Africa, remember that you'll be driving on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Where can I find a Newcastle car rental if I am younger than 25?
