Where can I find a Tampa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Tampa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Tampa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
