In Townsville, the rule is 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before booking your wheels.

Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules often differ between home companies, so it’s a good idea to check before you book.

Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Townsville supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re looking at will have all the details you need.

If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
