Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Amherst often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
