How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ithaca?
Rental car rules in Ithaca require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental companies impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Ithaca?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ from rental company to rental company, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find an Ithaca car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies located in Ithaca. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
Can I drive in Ithaca with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card 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 rental cars 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
