Where can I find a South Charleston hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some South Charleston companies will hire to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in South Charleston with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current 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 license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to 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, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read the details before you book!
