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

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ella?
It's a wise idea to have collision protection to cover your Ella rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism.

Can I drive in Ella with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Sri Lanka, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
