How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements to keep in mind before you lock in your Austin wheels. If you’re a younger motorist, most home suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between companies. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your home provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Austin?
You can, and the great news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Austin and cruise off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Austin often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to avoid any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to get 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., 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 used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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 rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
