How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hilo?
The minimum age to rent a car in Hilo is 21. An extra fee for young drivers usually applies, so check before booking and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may vary between providers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Hilo?
Before you can hit the road in Hilo, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What is the cheapest car rental in Hilo?
Hilo has had some happy car renters lately. Daily rates within the past seven days dropped as low as AU$67 and AU$68. 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 Hilo?
Yes. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and discover every part of Hilo — or beyond!
Where can I find a Hilo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Hilo providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Hilo with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you might need to organise 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, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
