Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Balmoral car reservation?
We understand that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of prepaid rentals give a total refund if you let us know six hours before picking up the car. It's a good idea to check your cancellation policy though as there are some exclusions. If you can't find the answer there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Balmoral?
The minimum age to rent a car in Balmoral is 21. A young driver surcharge will apply, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between outlets, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Balmoral?
Generally, all that's required is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental companies, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Balmoral?
In Balmoral, motorists drive on the left. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe, take things slower and leave yourself some extra time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Balmoral?

Where can I find a Balmoral car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Balmoral often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
