How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gulf Shores?
Gulf Shores rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter home conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard home rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Gulf Shores?
Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home companies, so remember to check the terms and conditions.
What is the cheapest car rental in Gulf Shores?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a holiday home vehicle in Gulf Shores was just AU$194. The second lowest was AU$198 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gulf Shores?
You can. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term holiday homes for all types of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Gulf Shores — or beyond!
Where can I find a Gulf Shores car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Gulf Shores holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some outlets will charge extra fees. It’s best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Gulf Shores with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order 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 you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
