How old do you have to be to rent a car in Clearwater Beach?
Clearwater Beach requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Clearwater Beach?
Renting a car in Clearwater Beach is easy. Normally, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card. Once you’ve settled on your favourite set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to pickup.
What is the cheapest car rental in Clearwater Beach?

These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Clearwater Beach?
Yes. We partner with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all categories of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Clearwater Beach — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Clearwater Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Clearwater Beach home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some companies will charge additional costs. It’s handy to know about this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Clearwater Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
