For more details, please see the “Important Information” section for details specific to your rental vehicle, or contact our customer care team for assistance.

East Coast Car Rental driver age policy requires all drivers to be at least 21 years of age. Drivers aged 21 to 24 will need to pay a young driver surcharge, and may be restricted to a limited range of vehicles. Additional drivers under the age of 25 can be added to the Rental Agreement, but they will also be subject to the under 25 fee. Drivers over the age of 80 are subject to the approval of the renting officer.

East Coast Car Rentals requires a valid and current driver licence to rent a vehicle. If the licence is not in English you will need to provide an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your local licence. Provisional licences are accepted as long as they have been held for at least 12 months, P-plates must be displayed on the hire car for the duration of the rental, and the East Coast Car Rental Loss Damage Waiver must be purchased. Learner drivers are not permitted to rent a hire car from East Coast Car Rental.

Yes, East Coast Car Rental allows for additional drivers, but each additional driver is subject to the same criteria as the primary driver. An additional one-off fee will be applied for each additional driver.

Yes. Basic cover is included in the rental quote, but should the vehicle be stolen or damaged in an accident, or a third-party loss occurs, you’ll be liable to pay up to the Rental Vehicle Excess amount as per your East Coast Car Rental Rental Agreement. The excess refers to the amount renters are liable for before the basic cover applies and the amount of this excess can vary depending on the type of vehicle, the age of the renter, and a number of other variables. East Coast offers additional coverage as a fee-based service, and this can reduce your damage excess charge, but be sure to read through your detailed Rental Agreement to see what damage is and is not covered, and also for more information regarding the cost of excess reduction cover. Prosura is another excess insurance option to consider if you are looking for comprehensive excess reduction coverage.

Yes. East Coast Car Rental will provide complimentary roadside assistance for any mechanical-based defects that are inherent to the vehicle. However, for issues which aren’t strictly mechanical, such as (but not restricted to) tire changing, getting locked out of your car, or a flat battery, you’ll be charged a call-out fee along with any associated costs. East Coast Car Rental offers Premium Roadside Assistance for an additional fee to cover for these and other situations.

East Coast Car Rental hire cars are tag-less and instead rely on licence identification when the vehicle uses a toll road.

For further information, please see the “Important Information” section for details specific to your rental vehicle or contact our customer care team.

To avoid this situation, refill the fuel tank at your own expense before returning the vehicle. To save money, use the VroomVroomVroom fuel price comparison app to find the best-priced petrol near the depot you need to return your rental car to
