How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southport?
Rental car rules in Southport require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home outlets impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Southport?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements may differ between home companies, so remember to read the fine print.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southport?
Expedia makes it a cinch to score a cheap long-term car rental in Southport. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare your options.
Where can I find a Southport car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Southport holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It’s handy to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Southport with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
