How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shonai?

Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Shonai?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shonai?
In Shonai, all vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so be careful and pay extra attention behind the wheel.

Where can I find a Shonai car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Shonai rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs.
