How old do you have to be to rent a car in Africa?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Africa. Take note that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Additionally, most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Read the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Africa?
Renting a car in Africa is easy. Usually, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card. After settling on the perfect set of wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no extra requirements prior to the pickup date.

Whether you have plans to stop in Africa or explore what’s beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Africa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are in Africa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Africa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you 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 in most states to be able 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 all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
