How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manhattan?
Usually, you need to be 21 years of age and over in Manhattan. You should be aware that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Manhattan?
Before you can road trip around Manhattan, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own 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 Manhattan?

Where can I find a Manhattan car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 in Manhattan often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, however other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age range. It’d be good to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to escape extra costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Manhattan with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to apply for 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle.
