  • The coverage Lotte Rent A Car or another company includes with your Daegu car hire can vary, so always read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will apply a surcharge for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Simply check 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in Daegu. Providers often have to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can lock in some excellent one-way prices.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by provider (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in South Korea may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.
