How old do you have to be to rent a car in Charlottesville?
Charlottesville requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter home conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Charlottesville?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Charlottesville?
Expedia makes it a breeze to book a quality long-term car rental in Charlottesville. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse your options.
Where can I find a Charlottesville car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Charlottesville supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Charlottesville 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 home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to 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’ll 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, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before you book!
