How old do you have to be to rent a car in Derby?
Derby requires drivers to be 18 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Derby?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Derby?
In Derby, like the rest of South Africa, you drive on the left. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Derby?
Yes, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Derby and drive away with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Derby car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Derby often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age group. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to avoid any nasty surprises on pickup.
