How old do you have to be to rent a car in Research?
Home vehicle rules in Research require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Research?
Renting a car in Research is a cinch. Normally, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Once you’ve settled on your ride, read your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Research?
If you’re renting a car in Research, you’ll have to stick to the left. Be aware that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you’re used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission for an easier motoring experience.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Research?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a holiday home car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels that’s all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Research car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking to rent a car in Research, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
