How old do you have to be to rent a car in Coal Stream?
Coal Stream requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Coal Stream?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Coal Stream?
In Coal Stream, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slow at first and allow extra time to reach your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Coal Stream?
Whether you're planning to stay in Coal Stream or journey beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Coal Stream car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Coal Stream providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
