How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ruby Bay?
You need to be at least 21 to get behind the wheel of a home vehicle in Ruby Bay. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Ruby Bay?
Most home companies will need these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ruby Bay?
In Ruby Bay, prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so be careful and pay extra attention when you’re at the steering wheel.

Where can I find a Ruby Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Ruby Bay companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
