How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cairnryan?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Cairnryan. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before making your reservation. Companies also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Cairnryan?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cairnryan?
Unlike the States, people in Cairnryan drive on the left side of the road. Having the driver's seat 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 before embarking on your journey.

Where can I find a Cairnryan car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little research. Found a Cairnryan supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome!
