How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sutherlands?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the highway in Sutherlands in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Sutherlands?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier'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 car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sutherlands?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Sutherlands. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Leave a bit of extra time to get familiar with your new car before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sutherlands?
Whether you plan to hang around Sutherlands or travel beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Sutherlands car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Sutherlands. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
