How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?
Home vehicle rules in Austin require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Home outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
The essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Austin?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a holiday home vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between home companies, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found an Austin supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid 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 traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
