How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Raleigh?
Downtown Raleigh rules state drivers must be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Raleigh?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Downtown Raleigh?
Yes, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Downtown Raleigh and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Downtown Raleigh car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Downtown Raleigh. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
