How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shima?
Shima requires drivers to be at least 18 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shima?
The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shima?
You'll be driving on the left in Shima. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the other side. Allow some extra time to get familiar with your rental car before you hit the open road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shima?
Expedia makes it a cinch to find a cheap long-term car rental in Shima. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Shima car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Shima outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
