But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

Pick up the best deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from all the major providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Shelby car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Shelby?
Shelby rules state drivers must be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Shelby?
Generally, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so it's wise to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shelby?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Shelby car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in Shelby. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
