How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sunshine?
Sunshine requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Sunshine?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Sunshine, the two main things you'll need are a current driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sunshine?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a ride to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Sunshine car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Sunshine. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
