How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rates?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a car in Rates. Take into account that rental suppliers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Rates?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between providers, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Rates?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Spain — the same side as in the States. Road-tripping around Rates won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rates?
You can. Expedia partners with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many categories of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of Rates — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Rates car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Rates providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
