How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dows?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Dows. Take into account that rental providers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises when it's time to collect the keys.

You'll generally require a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between rental providers, so be sure to read the fine print.

Where can I find a Dows car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Dows outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
