Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Melbourne, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
