Renting a vehicle allows you to explore new places with flexibility and comfort. Before you start your journey, ensure you meet the general rental requirements outlined below. Please note these are standard guidelines, and specific requirements can vary between rental companies. Always verify each rental company's individual policies during the booking process on the confirmation screen.
1. Minimum Age Requirement
Most rental companies set the minimum rental age at 25 years old. However, some companies offer rental options for younger drivers (typically under 25) for an additional fee.
2. Necessary Documentation
Typically, when renting a vehicle you will need:
Valid Driver's License: Must be physically presented and valid throughout the rental period. Most companies do not require a minimum period since issuance.
International Driving Permit (IDP): Required for international rentals outside your home country.
Passport: May be requested as an additional form of identification for international travelers. Please note a passport alone does not replace a valid driver’s license or IDP.
Important: Always confirm specific documentation requirements directly with the rental company upon booking.
3. Credit Card Requirements
Generally, a physical credit card meeting the following conditions is required:
Issued in your name.
Enabled for international transactions (for international rentals).
Valid throughout the entire rental period.
Issued by a recognized banking institution.
With sufficient available credit for the security deposit.
Important: Most rental companies, if not all, do not accept cash, prepaid cards, or similar forms of payment for security deposits.
Check Specific Rental Policies
Each rental company may have additional or unique requirements and policies. Always review the specific terms and conditions of your chosen rental company carefully on the confirmation screen when completing your booking.
