For your information, the minimum age for drivers and co-drivers is 21 years and a valid, clean driver’s licence (speeding points deemed acceptable) must be produced by the driver or any authorised co-driver at the time of rental. The drivers licence needs to be in English with photograph or an International drivers licence will be required.
