Some Sarasota providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Sarasota with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
