How old do you have to be to rent a car in Charleston?
Charleston requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Charleston?
Renting a car in Charleston is a cinch. Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card. Once you've found the perfect set of wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no further requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Charleston?
People in Charleston drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. Vehicles. Spend a bit of extra time getting acquainted with your new car before getting on the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Charleston?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was $31. The second lowest price for rental vehicles in Charleston was $36 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Charleston?
Whether you plan to stay in Charleston or travel beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Charleston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Charleston providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Charleston?
A thorough insurance plan is a fantastic idea for your upcoming Charleston trip. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
