How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chankanai?
Drivers aged 23 and over can go road-tripping around Chankanai in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Chankanai?
Before you can road trip around Chankanai, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chankanai?
If you're renting a car in Chankanai or road-tripping around Sri Lanka, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chankanai?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Chankanai car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Chankanai often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not have any extra fees for this age range. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape excessive charges when picking up your keys.
