How old do you have to be to rent a car in Destin?
Destin requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Destin?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Destin?
Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then book your ideal ride. Whether you’re stopping in Destin or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term home at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Destin car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that are found in Destin. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Destin with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to get 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
