What do you need to rent a car in Downtown St. Petersburg?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? Then there’s a good chance you’ll also need proof of other coverage. Requirements can differ between suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find a Downtown St. Petersburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the home companies that operate in Downtown St. Petersburg. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Downtown St. Petersburg 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 organise 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 for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home.
