How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whitby?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related requirements you should be aware of before reserving your wheels in Whitby. If you're a young motorist, many rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the kinds of cars you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Whitby?
Before you can road trip around Whitby, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whitby?
If you're renting a vehicle in Whitby or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Whitby?
Expedia makes it a snap to pick up a long-term rental in Whitby. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Whitby car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Whitby providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
