Where can I find an Athlone car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Athlone rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Athlone?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Athlone trip. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Athlone with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
