How old do you have to be to rent a car in Philadelphia?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules to keep in mind before you book your Philadelphia wheels. If you're a young motorist, most rental suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Philadelphia?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Philadelphia?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Philadelphia and score a real bargain.
Where can I find a Philadelphia car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Philadelphia, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
