Alberta rules state drivers must be 18 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Alberta?

Where can I find an Alberta car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Alberta often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, however other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age group. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to avoid any surprise charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Alberta with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
