Where can I find a Charleston hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Charleston rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge additional fees. It's handy to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Charleston with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid 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. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
