Where can I find a Bethesda car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Bethesda rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
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!
