How old do you have to be to rent a car in Philippolis?
Philippolis rules state drivers must be 18 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Philippolis?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Philippolis?
If you're renting a car in Philippolis or road-tripping around South Africa, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Some Philippolis companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
