Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Columbia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Columbia 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 organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before you book!
