How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portsmouth?

Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Portsmouth?

Where can I find a Portsmouth car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Portsmouth often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It’d be wise to read the terms and conditions of your prospective holiday home company to avoid any nasty surprises on pickup.
Can I drive in Portsmouth with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s 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’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
