How old do you have to be to hire a car in Tampa?
Tampa requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can hire a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car hire rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to hire a car in Tampa?

Where can I find a Tampa hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between hire suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Tampa supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Tampa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
