How old do you have to be to rent a car in Charleston?
Charleston rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Charleston?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
