Where can I find an Altoona car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Altoona. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25  be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Altoona with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle.
