You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Tuscaloosa holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 some companies will charge additional costs. It’s good 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 younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Tuscaloosa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need 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, 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 car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
