How do I find the best car hire deals in Philadelphia with Expedia?
Pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off points, and compare offers from all the big-name suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Philadelphia car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the hire car rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to hire a car in Philadelphia?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Philadelphia, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What is the cheapest car hire in Philadelphia?
£44 and £48 were the cheapest daily rates for hire cars in Philadelphia within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Philadelphia?
Head over to our long-term car hire deals page, enter your preferences and then reserve your ideal ride. Whether you're staying put in Philadelphia or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Philadelphia hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Philadelphia rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional fees. It's handy to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Philadelphia with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
