Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in St. Charles?

Where can I find a St. Charles car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the St. Charles holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 some companies will charge additional costs. It’s best to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in St. Charles with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. 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 a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
