Question 12

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

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look into the age policy of the Sarasota rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra costs. It's better to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.

Question 13

Can I drive in Sarasota with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
