How old do you have to be to rent a car in Islay?

What do you need to rent a car in Islay?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Islay?
For a secure, stress-free trip, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also provides round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Islay vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Islay with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification 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. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
