Good to know
Check each company's age requirements before booking your home in South Korea. Rules can vary, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Jeju car rental reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Rules can change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest approach.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.
Driving in South Korea may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
In South Korea, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.03%. If you're planning to drink, pass the keys to someone else or find an alternative way to get around.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the South Korean won (KRW) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
