How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hilo?
In Hilo, the rule is usually 21 and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It’s a good idea to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Hilo?
Renting a car in Hilo is a breeze. Usually, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card. Once you’ve settled on your favourite set of wheels, check your policy to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hilo?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a ride that’s all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Hilo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are found in Hilo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Hilo with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
