Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before you book. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Austin often depends on the rental company you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but other companies may not have any additional fees for this age group. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to avoid any surprise charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must 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 many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off 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 on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental.
