How old do you have to be to rent a car in Elgin?
Elgin rules state drivers must be at least 18 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Elgin?

In Elgin, you'll always be driving on the left-hand side. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be mindful and focus while out on the road.

Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find an Elgin outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific news! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Elgin?
For a stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides customers with round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Elgin vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Elgin with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card 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 25 or older 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
