How old do you have to be to rent a car in Elgin?
The minimum age to rent a car in Elgin is 21. A young driver surcharge applies, so check before you book and budget for any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may vary between providers, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Elgin?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check before booking.

Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Elgin, we recommend reading the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Elgin with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
