How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Charles?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related requirements you should know about before you lock in your Lake Charles wheels. If you're a younger motorist, most rental outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between companies. It's always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Charles?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Lake Charles was $44. The next lowest was $45 per day.

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lake Charles?
You can. Expedia partners with reputable suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all categories of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Lake Charles — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Lake Charles car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Lake Charles, we recommend reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Lake Charles?
For a secure, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also provides round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Lake Charles vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
