Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Melbourne, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card 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 to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
