Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Charlotte?
Within the past seven days in Charlotte, you could have driven off in a hire for as low as a day.
Can I hire a car from Charlotte-Douglas Intl. Airport (CLT)?
You sure can. Once your plane hits the tarmac at Charlotte-Douglas Intl. Airport (CLT), you'll find the rental car centre at the Rental Car Centre in the Level 2 lobby. Choose from Advantage, Budget or National. Dollar and Enterprise are also worth checking out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Charlotte car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the pick-up time, most reservations offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read your rental policy. Look over your itinerary for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Charlotte?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no match for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Charlotte. Grab the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Charlotte can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Charlotte?
There's loads to do in Charlotte, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these fantastic drives to your itinerary:

  • Asheville is about 100 miles from Charlotte. Popular tourist attractions like Biltmore Estate deserve a place on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • About 85 miles away, Columbia is also a favourite with travellers. Make time to take in University of South Carolina while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Find your way to Ijams Nature Centre for a day out in nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Charlotte, it's 180 miles away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Charlotte?
If you're 21 and above, you can hire a car in Charlotte. Take into account that hire companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Take note of the fine print before booking to avoid any hassles at pick-up.
What do you need to hire a car in Charlotte?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Charlotte hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Charlotte. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Charlotte with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
