How to Verify Your RealCar Account

Updated 10/19/26

What are the eligibility requirements?

  • You must be over 21-years old, and hold a current, valid (non-temporary) driver`s license (no major moving violations, DUI convictions, or similar infractions) and present your license to RealCar when you receive your vehicle.
  • If you are under the age of 25, you may be required to demonstrate at least two years of current, U.S.-licensed driving history.
  • If you hold a foreign licence, you must be at least 25 years old, and will be required to show your passport and a photograph of your license
  • All renters must be physically present at the time of the rental. Unfortunately, RealCar does not allow 3rd parties to pick up vehicles, and our employees must physically hand the keys to the car`s driver.

What information is required of renters?

  • Payment card information: The renter must also provide their payment card information.
  • Driver`s license information: Every renter must submit his or her driver`s license number, in addition to the name and address on their driver`s license.
  • Identity verification questions: RealCar asks domestic applicants to provide the last four digits of their Social Security number, and may also ask them a few straightforward questions which they should be able to answer readily without reference to documentation to confirm their identity.
  • International Drivers: Non-US drivers are required to provide additional information, valid passport, and driver`s license from their home country.
