Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?

If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
