Hiring a Car in Charleston: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Charleston

Allow extra time for car pickup

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.
Prepare in advance for a smooth car pickup experience

Check license and age requirements.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Charleston, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
Find the best deals for drivers of all ages from

Add a Second Driver

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
Explore options for additional drivers

Guarantee Your Car Type

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.
Choose a rental with guaranteed car type

Stay Informed About Local Driving Laws

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.
Research driving regulations in your area

Be prepared for card requirements at pickup

Many car hire deals in Charleston require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Check for Restricted Areas

Some areas may have restrictions; ensure you know where you can and cannot drive.
Be aware of driving restrictions

Check for Free Cancellation Policies

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
Look for flexible cancellation options
