What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Paterson?
You'll want to add collision damage protection while reserving your Paterson car rental with Expedia. This protects your ride against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your road trip.

Simply opt in to this insurance while making your booking.
Can I drive in Paterson with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
