1. Can I Rent a Car if I’m Under 25?
Yes! At Student Rent A Car, we rent to students 18 and older with a valid driver’s license. Unlike major rental companies that often charge high underage fees, our pricing is built for young drivers — no hidden charges.
2. What Documents Do I Need to Rent a Car?
You’ll need:
-
A valid driver’s license
-
A debit or credit card
-
A valid student ID or proof of enrollment (in some cases)
Simple, quick, and paper-light.
3. Do I Need Insurance?
If you have personal auto insurance, it may cover your rental. If not, we offer affordable coverage options you can add during booking. It’s always a good idea to have some level of protection.
4. How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Car as a Student?
Our rentals start at just $25 per day, depending on the vehicle type and location. We also offer flexible plans for weekends, week-long, or monthly rentals — no complicated pricing, just straight-up value.
5. Is There a Mileage Limit?
Yes — most rentals come with a set daily mileage, which we’ll clearly tell you upfront. If you go over, there’s a small additional fee per extra mile. But don’t worry — we keep it fair and affordable.
6. Can I Add a Friend as a Driver?
Absolutely. You can add an extra driver if they meet the same requirements (valid license, age, etc.). It’s a great way to share the drive on road trips.
7. What If I Need to Cancel or Extend My Rental?
We offer flexible booking. You can cancel or extend your rental with minimal hassle — just give us a heads-up, and we’ll take care of it.
