How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southwest?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can hire a car in Southwest. Be aware that most hire companies will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from hiring larger or luxury models of cars. Carefully read the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles when it’s time to collect the keys.
What do you need to hire a car in Southwest?
Before you can hit the road in Southwest, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage.

Where can I find a Southwest hire car if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Southwest hire providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra costs. It’s handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Southwest with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
