Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Richmond companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Richmond with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
