Where can I find a Downtown Knoxville car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Downtown Knoxville often depends on the home provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. It’d be good to read the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises at the home desk.
Can I drive in Downtown Knoxville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required 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, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
