Where can I find a Sydney car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in Sydney. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Sydney with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 or older in many states in order 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 your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
