Where can I find a Sanibel hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Sanibel rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's good to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Sanibel with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to 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 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
