How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lansdowne?
Lansdowne rules state drivers must be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Lansdowne?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Lansdowne?
Unlike the United States, people in Lansdowne drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car and its quirks before starting your journey.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lansdowne?

Where can I find a Lansdowne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you're under 25 years in Lansdowne often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any extra costs for this age group. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
