The renter and every approved additional driver must hold a valid driver's licence. Contact TAK8 Car Rental before booking to confirm whether your particular licence type and supporting documents are accepted.
Can another person drive the rental vehicle?
Only drivers authorised on the rental agreement may operate the vehicle. The renter is responsible for breaches of the rental terms by an additional driver.
