There may also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Charlottesville?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental providers, so be sure to check before booking.

Where can I find a Charlottesville car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Charlottesville outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Charlottesville with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
