How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newport?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Newport is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Newport?
Before you can road trip around Newport, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Newport?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Newport drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before hitting the road.

Where can I find a Newport car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Newport outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome!
