What do you need to rent a car in The Lakes?
While requirements can differ between rental car outlets in The Lakes, the two things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a The Lakes car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in The Lakes. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in The Lakes with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might 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 for you to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car 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’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
