Good to know
Age requirements can vary by company (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
If you're going away with the kids, check if you need to add a car seat to your Gustavia car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.
Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.
