What do you need to rent a car in Walter Peak?
Before you can take the wheel in Walter Peak, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you don't take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
