Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Jamestown car reservation?
We all have times when plans change. That's why we provide your money back on many prepaid reservations if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. Don't forget to double-check the rental agreement — there are some cases where it's not included. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Jamestown?
In Jamestown, the rule is generally 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Jamestown?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets in Jamestown, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Jamestown?
In Jamestown, you'll have to drive on the left. Be aware that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.

Where can I find a Jamestown car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Jamestown often depends on the rental provider you select. Some places have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age group. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
