Car Hire in Seoul, Seoul

In Seoul, cars are driven on the right-hand side of the road, the same as in most of Europe and the United States. All children under the age of 6 must use a child seat. Seat belts must be worn by the driver and all passengers at all times whilst the car is moving, both in front and back seats. The drinking and driving limit in Seoul and the whole of South Korea varies but can be as low as 0.03%. Alcohol checks are frequent and random in South Korea, so never assume that it is safe to have a drink and then drive. Be aware that speed cameras are in operation across the whole country. It is also good to note that toll roads are common throughout South Korea, so this is something you may need to factor in cost-wise. You are not allowed to use your mobile phone while driving. If you need to take calls whilst on the road, it is advisable to get a rental car with hand-free controls built-in. Another cost factor you may need to consider is that most parking throughout the country is chargeable.

To arrange car hire in Seoul, you must hold a valid passport and a valid, full driving licence. Unless you are from South Korea, you must also have an international driver’s permit to drive in the country. You further need to have a credit/debit card or cash for payment. You can only hire a car in Seoul if you are at least 21 years old and have a minimum of 1 year's driving experience. If you are aged between 21 and 25, you will likely have to pay a young driver’s fee, which covers any additional insurance required for less experienced drivers. Whilst cheap car rentals in Seoul are available to younger drivers, most car rental companies will permit only the rental of economy class vehicles by anyone under the age of 25. You should check with your car hire company regarding their specific rules.
