Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Washington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then 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 for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms 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 confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
