How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shelter Island?
Shelter Island rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to hire a car in Shelter Island?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between hire companies, so read through your policy.

Where can I find a Shelter Island hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can hire a car under the age of 25 in Shelter Island often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred hire car dealer to escape unnecessary costs at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Shelter Island with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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 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 hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
