How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alma?
Rental car rules in Alma require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Alma?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Alma?
In Alma, motorists drive on the left. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself some extra time to get to your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alma?
You can, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Alma and score an impressive bargain.
Where can I find an Alma car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Alma rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
