Some Charleston companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Charleston with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you might 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 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 used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
