How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kowakubi?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 18 and above can rent a vehicle in Kowakubi. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 18, a fee will be added. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before reserving your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Kowakubi?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy 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 Kowakubi?
Motorists in Kowakubi drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some time getting comfortable with your rental car before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kowakubi?
Yes, and you'll find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you fabulous offers from numerous reputable suppliers.
Where can I find a Kowakubi car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Kowakubi rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
