How old do you have to be to rent a car in Roadside?
Roadside rules state drivers must be 18 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Roadside?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Roadside?
In Roadside, like the rest of South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Roadside?

Where can I find a Roadside car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Roadside supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
