If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Kids coming with you? Car seat laws differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their weight, height and age. Check if you need to add one to your Riohacha car hire reservation.

Familiarise yourself with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Colombia.
