How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kelso?
In Kelso, the requirement is usually 21 years and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. It's always a good idea to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Kelso?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kelso?
In Kelso, all cars drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so be careful and concentrate when you're behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kelso?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Kelso car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Kelso companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
