How old do you have to be to rent a car in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions.

While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Philadelphia?
Before you can take the wheel in Philadelphia, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.

You can, and the good news is companies often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Philadelphia and cruise away with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Philadelphia car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Philadelphia often depends on the rental provider you select.

Make sure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when picking up your keys.
