How old do you have to be to rent a car in Elgin?
Drivers 21 and over can hit the road in Elgin in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Elgin?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Elgin, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
