How old do you have to be to rent a car in El Arenal?
El Arenal rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Arenal?
Any home company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in El Arenal?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Mexico — the same as in the States. Motoring around El Arenal won’t be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in El Arenal?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in El Arenal or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an incredible rate.
Where can I find an El Arenal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some El Arenal providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
