What types of cars can I rent in Philadelphia?
Perfect for short journeys and slipping into tight parking spots, minis are the most popular car type in Philadelphia. With superb fuel economy, you’ll save on gas as you cruise around the city’s must-see sights. These fun little rides aren’t the only options available though.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Philadelphia with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare rates, offers and home companies, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Philadelphia car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you’ll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Philadelphia?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in Philadelphia. Take into account that most home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren’t permitted to rent luxury cars or larger vehicles. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before you book so there are no hassles at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Philadelphia?
The main things are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your home agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Philadelphia?
In Philadelphia and across South Africa, motorists drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a safer ride, take things slow to begin with and allow extra time to get to your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Philadelphia?
Whether you’re planning to stop in Philadelphia or travel beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Philadelphia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are in Philadelphia. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
