Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Carefully read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.

You’ll generally require a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance policy.
