Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the home counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Lakeland with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to 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’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental.
