While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Observatory?
The essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any problems.

Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Observatory?
It's a good idea to add collision protection while booking your Observatory rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency help, you can drive away knowing you're covered for many mishaps. You can opt in to this plan while making your booking.
Can I drive in Observatory with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Africa, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
