Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Washington requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.

Question 8

What do you need to rent a car in Washington?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you'll need a driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before you book.

Question 9

What is the cheapest car rental in Washington?

Accepted Answer

AU$88 and AU$89 were the cheapest daily prices for rental vehicles in Washington within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Question 11

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This will depend on the rental companies that are in Washington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.

Question 12

Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
