How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melville Cove?
Melville Cove requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Melville Cove?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Melville Cove?
Unlike the United States, people in Melville Cove drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before starting your journey.

Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll list fabulous options from numerous trusted suppliers.
Where can I find a Melville Cove car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Melville Cove often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
