Under 25 and planning a Florida road trip? You can absolutely rent—just budget for young driver fees and choose the right protection. Start by checking Miami Airport car rental options if you’re landing at MIA or look at Downtown Miami pick‑ups to skip airport crowds.
What to expect if you’re 21–24
- Young driver surcharge: Most suppliers charge a daily fee for renters under 25. It varies by brand and vehicle category.
- Vehicle categories: Sports, luxury and specialty vehicles are often restricted. Compact, midsize, SUV and minivans are usually available.
- Payment method: A credit card in the main driver’s name is standard, but some partners accept debit cards with extra checks. Always read terms before booking.
Insurance that actually covers you
Make sure your booking includes Collision Damage Waiver and Third‑Party Liability so you’re shielded from costly surprises. Hola Car Rentals’ All‑Inclusive+ Rate bundles maximum coverage, keeps your deposit low, and clarifies exclusions up front. If you’re traveling with friends, add an extra driver to share the miles legally.

Realistic budget for under‑25 renters
Expect a daily surcharge, taxes, and optional extras (child seats, toll devices). Picking an all‑inclusive rate lets you see the full price upfront. Avoid add‑ons you won’t use and return the tank as required to skip refueling fees.
Pickup and return like a pro
Bring your license and card to the counter, inspect the car carefully, and photograph fuel level, mileage, and any marks. Keep the rental agreement handy in case of toll questions. On return, leave an extra 15 minutes for a quick walk‑around and receipt.
Weekend vs. weekday prices
Miami’s events calendar drives demand. Spring break, Art Basel, and holiday weekends can push rates up for everyone, especially under‑25 categories. Booking early with Hola Car Rentals locks inventory and shields you from last‑minute spikes.
Under‑25 mini‑itineraries
Beach & City: Pick up Friday at MIA, cruise to your hotel, and catch sunset on South Pointe. Saturday: Wynwood murals and a late beach swim. Sunday: Little Havana and return the car before dinner to save a day of fees.
Keys sampler: Take an early start to Key Largo for snorkeling and be back by evening. Choose an economy with good mileage and split the drive with an added driver.
Avoiding extra charges
Know your toll plan before leaving the lot. Hola Car Rentals partners include options with plate‑pass systems—and we offer cashback on tolls to lower your final bill. Return the tank as agreed, and keep your receipt to close the loop at check‑in.
