Rental car rules in Southwest require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.

You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

You can. Expedia partners with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all categories of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of Southwest — or far beyond!

Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Southwest supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome!

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 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, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
