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 nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Portsmouth with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your 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 driver's 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 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, 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 drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
