How old do you have to be to rent a car in St. James?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and over can rent a car in St. James. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in St. James?
While requirements can differ between rental car outlets, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in St. James?
If you're renting a vehicle in St. James or planning a road trip around South Africa, prepare 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 feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.

Where can I find a St. James car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a St. James outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
