Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to hire a car in Tampa?

Where can I find a Tampa hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Tampa often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some places have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, however others may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to avoid extra charges at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Tampa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about 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 you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
