How old do you have to be to rent a car in Earthquakes?
In Earthquakes, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to check the fine print before booking your wheels.

Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected 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 Earthquakes?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Earthquakes drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.

Where can I find an Earthquakes car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find an Earthquakes supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
