Question 12

Where can I find a Charleston car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Charleston. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.

Question 13

Can I drive in Charleston with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

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 home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
