Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Austin often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs 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 from the United States, you may be required to apply for 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 required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
