What types of cars can I rent in Albany?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most in-demand type of home in Albany. Take the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Albany can be explored in almost any sort of home you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are other options to consider.

  • You’ll find Fenway Park and lots more interesting sights in Boston. From Albany, it’s about 177 kilometres away.
  • Next stop? Make it Cambridge, which is around 177 kilometres away. Harvard Square is one local highlight you won’t want to miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Albany?
Rental car rules in Albany require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Albany?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Albany?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we’ll list fabulous offers from numerous reliable companies.
Where can I find an Albany car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Albany providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Albany with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise 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, 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 needs to match the name on your 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 to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
