How old do you have to be to rent a car in Riverlands?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements you should keep in mind before locking in your Riverlands wheels. If you're a young motorist, many rental providers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Riverlands?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Riverlands?
In Riverlands, all vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so be aware and focus when you're behind the steering wheel.

You can. We partner with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Riverlands — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Riverlands car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Riverlands, we recommend reading the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
