Where can I find a Chelmsford car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Chelmsford rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra fees. It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Chelmsford with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
