How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cottonwood?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should be aware of before you lock in your wheels in Cottonwood. If you're a younger motorist, many rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Cottonwood?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.
