How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dayton?
Home vehicle rules in Dayton require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars available to young people too. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Dayton?
Before you can take the wheel in Dayton, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you decline to take out the home company’s insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dayton?
Yes, and the wonderful news is providers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Dayton and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Dayton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are found in Dayton. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home.
Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
