How old do I have to be to rent a car in Charleston?

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Charleston?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Charleston. Compact or economy cars are easier to park and great for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have more room for everyone's belongings and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little luxury on their Charleston trip can choose a higher-end car model like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent a car in the United States. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Hertz?

At CarRentals.com, we advise a full tank policy. You pick up your Hertz rental with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Hertz.
