How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Rental vehicle rules in Heidelberg require drivers to be 18 and above. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply.

What do you need to rent a car in Heidelberg?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Heidelberg?
If you're renting a car in Heidelberg or planning a road trip around South Africa, you'll be driving on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
What is the cheapest car rental in Heidelberg?

Where can I find a Heidelberg car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Heidelberg companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Heidelberg?
