How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shelter Island?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions you should bear in mind before you book your Shelter Island wheels. If you’re a young motorist, most home outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you’re able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between outlets. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Shelter Island?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your home provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Shelter Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a home in Shelter Island, check the policies of the various home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the home desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Shelter Island with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 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 company you’re renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
