You'll need to be 18 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Margate. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your vacation budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Margate?
Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Margate?
Motorists in Margate drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a bit of extra time getting to know the differences before hitting the road.

Where can I find a Margate car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies operating in Margate. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Margate?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise choice for your Margate escape. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Margate with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have 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 license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
