What do you need to rent a car in Charleston?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
Can I drive in Charleston with my U.S. Driver's license?
You certainly can. If you have a valid U.S. License, you’re allowed to drive in Charleston. You may not need an International Driving Permit. However, they are fairly easy to obtain, so it’d be a wise move to get one anyway.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Charleston?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your perfect wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll list awesome offers from numerous reliable providers.
Where can I find a Charleston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Charleston companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
