How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bethesda?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Bethesda. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21  they will add on fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before booking your ride. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bethesda?
The essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Bethesda car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Bethesda supplier that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Bethesda with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, 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 you used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
