Where can I find an Ottawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do some research. Found an Ottawa supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Ottawa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
