Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't a necessity, but is something to think about. If you're in a collision, no matter how minor, it can save you from paying a hefty excess fee. Different Jinju car hire providers have varying insurance policies and cover levels, so check the terms before booking.

  • Take your ride to the next level with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. They can make your drive smoother and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Jinju.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your rental in South Korea.

  • Kids coming with you? Car seat requirements differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Be sure to add the right one to your Jinju car rental booking.

  • You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.

  • If you haven't driven before in South Korea, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits may vary, but it's normally around 45kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in South Korea is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the South Korean won (KRW) for all your purchases and expenses throughout your trip. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards to make sure you're always covered.
