How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sanibel?
Sanibel rules state drivers must be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard home rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Sanibel?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sanibel?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book a ride that suits. Whether you’re stopping in Sanibel or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Sanibel car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Sanibel. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your holiday home.
Can I drive in Sanibel with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
