How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sodwana Bay?
In Sodwana Bay, the requirement is usually 18 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location.

What do you need to rent a car in Sodwana Bay?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sodwana Bay?
If you're renting a vehicle in Sodwana Bay, you'll have to drive on the left. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission to make things a bit easier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sodwana Bay?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Sodwana Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Sodwana Bay rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
