Where can I find a North Charleston car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that operate in North Charleston. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in North Charleston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 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 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
