How old do you have to be to rent a car in The Plains?

If you're a young motorist, most rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in The Plains?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a The Plains car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find a The Plains supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in The Plains with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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 state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
