You may want to read your agreement though because there are some exceptions. If the info isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rathlin Island?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Rathlin Island in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Rathlin Island?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so it's always wise to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Rathlin Island?
If you're renting a vehicle in Rathlin Island or planning a road trip around Northern Ireland, get ready to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rathlin Island?
Yes. We partner with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all car types. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Rathlin Island — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Rathlin Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Rathlin Island often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas other companies may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be good to read the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
