Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the rules are 23 years of age and over in Pettah. You should be aware that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 23.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Pettah?

Accepted Answer

Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Pettah?

Accepted Answer

Unlike the States, people in Pettah drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before getting on the road.

Accepted Answer

The cheapest price for a car rental in Pettah within the past seven days was just $49 per day. The second best deal snapped up by thrifty travelers was $54.

Question 10

Where can I find a Pettah car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look up the age policy of the Pettah rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Pettah?

Accepted Answer

Start your road trip on the right foot by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Pettah ride with Expedia and save money and time.

Question 12

Can I drive in Pettah with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Sri Lanka, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some 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, 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 driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
