You'll need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Washington. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many providers will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Washington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to get 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 required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and 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 drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
