How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kangaroo Island?
Kangaroo Island requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.

The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.
