How old do you have to be to rent a car in Clearwater?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the highway in Clearwater in a rental car. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply to you.

Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Clearwater car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Clearwater outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Clearwater with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to organise 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, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you 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 renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
