If you’re looking to arrange Patagonia car hire, rental car age requirements vary by company and location. Generally, drivers must be at least 21 or 25 years old, depending on the rental agency. A valid driving licence held for at least a year is essential.

It's advised to check with the specific rental agency for their age policies and document requirements.
