Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the road in Petersburg in a rental car. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also have to buy inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Petersburg?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Petersburg, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you decline to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Petersburg?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a ride to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Petersburg car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that operate in Petersburg. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Petersburg with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car 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 leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
