How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amherst?
Rental car rules in Amherst require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Amherst, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Amherst?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Amherst companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for 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 for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
