How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Tampa?
Home vehicle rules in Downtown Tampa require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Tampa?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? Then there’s a good chance you’ll also need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ from home company to home company, so read through your policy.

Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a home vehicle mid-holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Downtown Tampa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 in Downtown Tampa often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas other companies may not have any extra fees for this age group. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your chosen holiday home dealer to avoid unnecessary costs at the holiday home desk.
Can I drive in Downtown Tampa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s 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 need to be 25 or older 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, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
