Renter Qualification
The minimum rental age is 21 years. All intending
drivers must present a valid full national driving
licence, which has been held for at least one
year. A current international driving licence or
translation must accompany driving licences
issued in a language other than English. There is
an extra charge for additional drivers (see above
for more details). Minimum rental age and other
requirements for additional drivers will be the
same as for the renter.
