You need to be at least 21 to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Greensboro. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.

Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Greensboro supplier that does rent to under 25s? That’s great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.
