How old do you have to be to rent a car in New Germany?
Usually, you need to be 18 years and over in New Germany. You should be aware that most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers.

Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in New Germany?
If you're renting a vehicle in New Germany or road-tripping around South Africa, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.

Where can I find a New Germany car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are in New Germany. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
