How old do you have to be to rent a car in Thornton?
You'll need to be at least 21 to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Thornton. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Thornton?
Renting a car in Thornton is a breeze. Generally, all that's required is a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. After choosing your perfect set of wheels, check your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Thornton?
If you're renting a car in Thornton or planning a big road trip in Australia, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Thornton?
Yes. We partner with trusted providers that offer long-term homes for many car classes. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Thornton — or beyond!
Where can I find a Thornton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Thornton holiday home suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25  be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
