What types of cars can I rent in Westport?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Westport. Featuring terrific gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're ideal for zipping around the city. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a bit more comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Westport?
You'll need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Westport. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Westport?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between rental companies, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Westport?
In Westport, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself some extra time to arrive at your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Westport?
Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're staying put in Westport or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Westport car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that operate in Westport. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
