Where can I find a Philadelphia car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Philadelphia often depends on the rental provider you select. Some places have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not have any extra fees for this age group. Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Philadelphia with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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 onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
