How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bottle Lake?
Bottle Lake requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bottle Lake?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Bottle Lake?
In Bottle Lake, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safer ride, take things slow at first and leave yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.

Yes. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car categories. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Bottle Lake — or beyond!
