Tips for renting a car in Mississippi

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Mississippi including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on March 19, 2024.
  • Before you drive in Mississippi with your little one, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the state’s car seat laws. For instance, all children under the age of four must be in a proper car seat for their height and weight whenever in a moving vehicle. Children between the ages of four and eight are required to be in an appropriate booster seat. If you are unable to travel with a car or booster seat, you can typically rent one from your car rental company.
  • Mississippi is bordered by a few different states, including Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana. If you plan on embarking on a longer road trip and visiting one of these states, your rental company will typically allow you to do so. However, you may have to pay an additional charge if you would like to return your rental vehicle in a state that is different from where you initially picked it up.
  • It is important to note that the state of Mississippi requires all drivers and passengers in the front seat of the vehicle to wear a seatbelt. However, there are no seatbelt requirements for passengers in the back seat, unless they are a child. Despite this, it is still highly recommended that all passengers always wear seatbelts when driving in a rental car in Mississippi to be as safe as possible.

In addition, if you plan on exploring a lot of the state and traveling between cities, you will absolutely need a vehicle to do so. There are some bus options for traveling between large urban areas, but they are few and far between. If you are interested in renting an electric vehicle to reduce your carbon footprint while exploring Mississippi, rest assured that you will have plenty of places to charge it during your trip. The state of Mississippi has spent years ensuring that public electric vehicle charging stations can be found in both urban and rural areas, that way you never need to worry about your battery dying during your road trip.
