It's easy to find the best deal with Expedia. Simply choose your favorite ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the leading providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Richards Bay car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Richards Bay?
In Richards Bay, the requirement is generally 18 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Richards Bay?
Renting a car in Richards Bay is simple. Normally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. After choosing your wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements before pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Richards Bay?
In Richards Bay, like the rest of South Africa, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Go slower to build confidence driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Richards Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Richards Bay, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Richards Bay?
For a stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision damage protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Richards Bay vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Richards Bay with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
