Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before booking your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.

Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chinatown?
Unlike the U.S, people in Chinatown drive on the left. 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 vehicle and its quirks before starting your journey.

Some Chinatown companies will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
