How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rochester?
The minimum age to rent a car in Rochester is 21. An extra fee for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Rochester?
Most home companies will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rochester?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a ride that’s all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Rochester companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Rochester with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
