How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southgate?
Southgate rules state drivers must be 18 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Southgate?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Southgate?
If you're renting a car in Southgate or planning a road trip in greater South Africa, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southgate?
Yes, and the wonderful news is providers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Southgate and cruise off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Southgate car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are found in Southgate. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
