How old do you have to be to rent a car in French Quarter?
Home vehicle rules in French Quarter require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Home outlets impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in French Quarter?
Generally, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between home outlets, so it’s a good idea to read the fine print.

Where can I find a French Quarter car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in French Quarter often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in French Quarter with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware 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 needs to match the name on your 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go 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 so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
