How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southern Shores?
Generally, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Southern Shores. It’s important to note that most companies will charge extra fees for young renters. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a large car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Southern Shores?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.

You can. We partner with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every part of Southern Shores — or beyond!
Where can I find a Southern Shores car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Southern Shores providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Southern Shores with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
