How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chintsa?
Rental car rules in Chintsa require drivers to be 18 and above. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Many rental suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Chintsa?

What side of the road do you drive on in Chintsa?
If you're renting a car in Chintsa or planning a big road trip in South Africa, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Where can I find a Chintsa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Chintsa supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Awesome! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
