The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Washington often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not have any additional fees for this age group. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
