How old do you have to be to rent a car in Highlands?
In Highlands, the requirement is 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Don't forget to check the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Highlands?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What is the cheapest car rental in Highlands?
$53 and $55 were the cheapest daily rates for rental cars in Highlands within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Highlands?
Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer long-term rentals for all car types. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of Highlands — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Highlands car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Highlands providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Highlands?
For a safe, stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Highlands vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.
