  • Drinking and Driving

    Kindly avoid mixing drinking and driving. If you have had a drink and are found behind the wheel with blood alcohol concentration greater than 0.08%, you will be punished either in the form of on-the-spot fines from $200 or imprisonment from a day to 30 days.

  • Headlights

    When visibility is restricted to 400 feet or less, drivers should use headlights while driving their rental cars irrespective of the time of the day. Same should be followed during inclement weather.

  • Seat belts

    The driver, as well as the passengers, should wear seat belts at all times while on the road. If the law is violated, there might be fines starting from $20. Children under the age of 8 must be seated in safety seats and older children in booster seats. You can rent these add-ons at the time of booking.

North Carolina Car Rental FAQs

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

    Drivers aged between 21-24 years can rent cars in US North Carolina on VIP Cars. The minimum age to rent a car may vary from supplier to supplier & might also be different for different locations and different car-types. Minimum age doesn’t mean that the travelers under that age can’t rent, they can but suppliers charge a young driver surcharge from them. Read the T&Cs for current information.

  • How much to rent a car in Charlotte/Raleigh NC?

    Whether to rent a car in Charlotte or Raleigh, the cost of the car depends on the following factors:

    • Your age and the paid extras/services: If you are younger than 25 years, suppliers will charge you a young driver fee which adds to the overall cost of the rental. Similarly add-ons (like GPS and baby seats) and paid services (like one-way and cross-border) add to the rental’s cost.
    • The type of car you are renting: Economy cars, minis and standard cars are the cheapest to rent, but if you want a bigger car or a luxury car you will be paying more.
    • The time of the year when you are renting a car: September to November is the best time of the year to visit North Carolina. Therefore if you are renting a car in these months, you will be paying more. Rent at least 3 months in advance for cheaper deals.
  • Can you drive in North Carolina with an out of state learners permit?

    You can’t rent and drive a vehicle in NC with a learner’s license. All the rent-a-car companies allow only those drivers to hire cars which have a full and valid driver’s license. Call us for more information.

  • Can I use my debit card for renting a car in North Carolina?

    Most probably yes, though note that most of the suppliers only allow payment through credit cards. This is because they block a security amount on your credit card which they refund after the rental car has been returned in the same condition in which it was picked. In case of debit cards, for the suppliers which allow it, even they run a credit history before allowing you to pick the rental. Call us for more information.
