We all have times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we provide your money back on many rentals if you advise us at least six hours before collecting the car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lerwick?
The minimum age to rent a car in Lerwick is 21. A surcharge for young drivers typically applies, so check before booking and factor in possible additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Requirements may vary between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Lerwick?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Lerwick?
In Lerwick, prepare to drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be aware and concentrate when you're at the steering wheel.

Where can I find a Lerwick car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Lerwick, it'd be wise to check the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
