Good to know
Check each provider's age requirements before booking your rental in South Korea. Rules can vary, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, simply uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Mokpo car hire reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Rules vary from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest approach.
You'll need to bring a few things when collecting your rental car: your physical driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in South Korea.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in South Korea is 0.03%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The South Korean won (KRW) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with a card when it's possible, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't possible.
