How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tampa?
You need to be at least 21 to hop behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Tampa. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Tampa?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Tampa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that operate in Tampa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Tampa 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 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, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from 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, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
