Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by supplier and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in South Korea may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Jeonju car hire booking if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules can change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest option.
You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.
If you haven't driven before in South Korea, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph in urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.03% applies in South Korea. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the South Korean won (KRW) here. As well as your credit and debit cards, have some cash on hand for smaller purchases.
Korean is the language most commonly spoken throughout this country.
