If you’re a young driver looking to rent a car in Lake Charles, we recommend reading the policies of the various home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Lake Charles with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current 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 driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
