Where can I find an Emerald Isle car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Emerald Isle, we suggest reading the policies of the various holiday home companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Emerald Isle with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older 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 you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
