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

I just moved to Mississippi and I need to rent a car for a few weeks until mine arrives. I need some help figuring out how to do this. For starters, how old do I have to be to rent a car?

Good luck in
Mississippi
! You need to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Mississippi. If you’re between the ages of 21 and 24, though, you might have to pay a young driver surcharge to help the rental company offset the risk of renting to a young driver.
If this is your first time renting a car, here are a few things to remember:
  • Before buying additional insurance from the rental company, check with your provider to see what coverage you already have
  • You should buy the loss damage waiver when renting a car
  • Check out a few rental companies to compare prices
  • Book a refundable rate in case you need to cancel your reservation
  • Bring your own GPS and toll pass
And, of course, the best tip is to always drive as safely as possible and abide by Mississippi's driving laws.

What Others Are Asking

Does the BMW X1 have cruise control?
I never thought I’d be able to afford a BMW, but the new X1 is supposed to be relatively cheap! I always get nervous that luxury brands will upcharge for all of the common features on these cheaper options, though. Does the BMW X1 come with cruise control, or does it cost extra?

Is 810 a good credit score for a car loan?
I’m closing in on my retirement, but I’m still hoping to do some farmwork and carpentry around the house. I want to get a nice new pickup for the outdoor work. I hadn’t checked my credit score in years—apparently, though, it’s up over 800. Will I get a good interest rate on my loan with an 810 credit score?
