How old do you have to be to hire a car in Philadelphia?
Rental vehicle rules in Philadelphia require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Rental providers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Philadelphia?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver’s license and credit card.

Where can I find a Philadelphia hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between hire suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Found a Philadelphia outlet that does hire to drivers under 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Philadelphia with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
