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

While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Alexandria?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
