While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.

Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
