  • Having access to cheap car rentals in Mount Pleasant increases your freedom while trying to reach different locations throughout the city. You must be 25 years of age or older in order to rent your specific vehicle from any of the Mount Pleasant car rentals. Many rental car companies allow drivers aged 21 or older to rent a car because the legal driving age in Mount Pleasant and South Carolina is 21. However, you will need to pay an underage fee if you are between the ages of 21 and 24. Additionally, you can only rent a vehicle with a maximum capacity of 5 passengers.

Pickup truck

I didn't get a chance to even rent a vehicle from them. They called me to tell me that they didn't have the vehicle I needed and to call another location if I still wanted it. So, another option presented itself before I called the other location. It would have been good customer service for them to call them before they called me and say they have one but I guess they didn't think about that

Booked a 6pm pickup not realizing that was the time the shop closed. Showed up 10 minutes late and was refused entry and was not able to get the car. Should not be allowed to book a pickup at or after closing. Very disappointing.
