How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salt Rock?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Salt Rock is 18. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before booking and take into account any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Salt Rock?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Salt Rock?
If you're renting a vehicle in Salt Rock or road-tripping around South Africa, prepare to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Yes, and you can find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we'll list awesome offers from various quality providers.
Where can I find a Salt Rock car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Salt Rock rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
