Where can I find a Melbourne car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Melbourne companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Melbourne with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot 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 home. Please read the details before you book!
