Some rental companies will rent to drivers under the age of 25, as long as you are over the age of 21, and have a valid driver's liscence. There's almost always a surcharge though. Check ahead and book the reservation well ahead of time. Usually places like Alamo and Dollar have fewer restrictions. (I know a colleague with a DUI on his record can only rent from Dollar)
That's a big part of the country you are travelling between, you might be able to do it on Amtrak (trains)/Greyhound(buses) to avoid the driving, and you could probably get a pass for however long you are going to be around.
How long are you planning on spending? Any idea how long you were planning on spending in each destination? Where are you flying into - and flying out of? I'd definitely pick up a travel book for Southeast US, or check with AAA (the auto club, for help in mapping out a trip) for some ideas.
