Some outlets will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Albany with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
