Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, 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 required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware 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 you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
