How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portobello?
You need to be 21 and over to grab the keys to a rental car in Portobello. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Look up the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Portobello?
Generally, all that’s required is a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between providers, so it’s wise to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Portobello?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Portobello drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the car and its quirks before starting your journey.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Portobello?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home car mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a set of wheels that’s all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Portobello car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a car in Portobello, it’d be wise to check the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
