All you have to do is choose your ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the big-name rental brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Amherst car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amherst?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a car in Amherst. Be mindful that rental companies will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any problems when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Amherst?
The two lowest daily prices offered in Amherst within the past seven days were AU$170 and AU$172. Now that's what we'd call a great deal!

Whether you have plans to stick around Amherst or discover what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies operating in Amherst. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 need to be 25 or older 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 the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
