Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Durham. If you're searching for something economical and small, but not too small, this rental car category is a smart choice. Driving around bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier than economy models and are well-suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Durham?
Durham has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Make your way to Providence for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 113 kilometres from Durham, it's home to lots of inspiring attractions like Roger Williams Park Zoo.
  • Roughly 161 kilometres away, Albany is also a favourite with travellers. Be sure to check out The Egg while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this city.
  • Get out into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Longwood Gardens. You'll find it about 306 kilometres from Durham.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Durham?
Rental car rules in Durham require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Durham?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What is the cheapest car rental in Durham?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was AU$91. The next best price for rental vehicles in Durham was AU$99 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Durham?
Whether you plan to stay in Durham or travel beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Durham car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Durham, you'll need to check the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Durham with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, 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 you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
