Where can I find a Durham car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Durham companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must 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 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 regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave 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, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
