How old do you have to be to rent a car in Knoxville?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Knoxville. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking your ride. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Knoxville?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Knoxville car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Knoxville outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Knoxville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to apply for 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., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
