How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kathu?
Drivers aged 18 and above can get on the road in Kathu in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Kathu?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kathu?
In Kathu and across South Africa, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slower and allow yourself extra time to get to your destination.

Some Kathu companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
