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

Rules may vary between companies, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Thalpitiya?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

You'll need to look into the age policy of the Thalpitiya rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Thalpitiya?
For a smooth, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against vandalism, accident damage and theft. It also provides round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Thalpitiya vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Thalpitiya with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Sri Lanka, then you might 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 you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
