What do you need to rent a car in Philadelphia?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Philadelphia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Philadelphia. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
