What types of cars can I rent in Cumberland Island?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many visitors to Cumberland Island. With great gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're perfect for exploring the city. A compact offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little extra comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cumberland Island?
Cumberland Island requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Cumberland Island?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cumberland Island?
You can, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Cumberland Island and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Cumberland Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Cumberland Island rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs. It's better to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
