Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Amherst rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
