How old do you have to be to rent a car in Galveston?

Rules may be different between providers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.

Where can I find a Galveston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a Galveston supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
