Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my South Korea car reservation?
We’ve all been faced with times when plans get upended. That’s why we offer a full refund on the majority of prepaid reservations if you let us know at least six hours before collecting the car. Don’t forget to double-check your policy — sometimes it’s not offered. Can’t find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in South Korea?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in South Korea. Affordable and with great mileage, they’re perfect for solo travelers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a great deal of room. They’re especially suited to driving around cities. Slipping into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!

Scoring an amazing deal on your South Korea rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare prices from leading suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You’ll get access to even bigger savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in South Korea?
South Korea rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in South Korea?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in South Korea?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a long-term car rental in South Korea. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a South Korea car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking to rent a car in South Korea, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
