Check customer ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Southwest car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with extra savings.

Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southwest?

Accepted Answer

Generally, the rules are 21 years and over in Southwest. Be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a specialty vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Southwest?

Accepted Answer

Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Question 9

Where can I find a Southwest car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Southwest often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to avoid extra charges when picking up your keys.

Question 10

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Southwest?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive insurance policy is a great idea for your upcoming Southwest trip. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
