How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hope?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a car in Hope. Take into account that most rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Hope?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hope?
In Hope, you'll need to drive on the left. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission to make things a little easier.

Where can I find a Hope car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies operating in Hope. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
