How old do you have to be to rent a car in The Glen?

What do you need to rent a car in The Glen?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental companies, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in The Glen?

Where can I find a The Glen car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in The Glen often depends on the rental supplier you choose.
