Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Shelter Island?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental providers, so it's wise to read the fine print.

Where can I find a Shelter Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Shelter Island providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Shelter Island with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
