Where can I find a Southampton car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in Southampton, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Southampton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to 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 off-road areas with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
