Keep it simple with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the preferred choice in Athol. They're easy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're driving around big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room at a price that's still affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Athol?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a car in Athol. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before locking in your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Athol?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Athol?
If you're renting a car in Athol, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Be aware that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Athol?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a ride that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Athol car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Athol, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
