How old do you have to be to rent a car in Orkney?
If you’re 18 and over, you can rent a car in Orkney. Take into account that home companies will charge an extra fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Read through the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Orkney?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Orkney, the essentials are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Orkney?
In Orkney, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe, take things slower and leave yourself some extra time to arrive at your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Orkney?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Orkney, so go on and extend your getaway! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Orkney car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Orkney often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when collecting your car.
