Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Red Beach car reservation?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Red Beach?
Red Beach rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Red Beach?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Red Beach?
In Red Beach, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow at first and allow yourself extra time to get from A to B.

You can. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for many categories of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Red Beach — or beyond!
Where can I find a Red Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Red Beach providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
