Where can I find a Honolulu car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Honolulu. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Honolulu with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
