What types of cars can I rent in Kelburn?
Economical, easy to handle and with excellent mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most booked rental category in Kelburn.

But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kelburn?
Kelburn rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Kelburn?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's always a good idea to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kelburn?
In Kelburn, all cars drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be aware and focus while out on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kelburn?
Whether you have plans to hang around Kelburn or journey beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Kelburn car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Kelburn rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
