How old do you have to be to rent a car in Albany?
If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a car in Albany. Bear in mind that home providers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are often restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Read through the terms and conditions before you book so there are no hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Albany?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any issues.

Where can I find an Albany car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Albany holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some companies will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Albany with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might need to get 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order 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 your trip 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, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
