If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a car in Kansas City, we suggest reading the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Kansas City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your 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 need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
