Where can I find a Shanghai car rental if I am younger than 25?

There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Shanghai with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, 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 used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able 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 your trip to understand all the 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 U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
