What do you need to rent a car in Fairfax?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Cars drive on the left in Fairfax. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Set aside extra time to familiarise yourself with your new car before setting out.

Where can I find a Fairfax car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Fairfax rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
