What do you need to rent a car in Surfside Beach?
While terms and conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the two main things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Surfside Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?

Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re interested in will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Surfside Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle.
