How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amherst?
Amherst requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Amherst?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a holiday home car mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a ride to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Amherst often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not have any additional costs for this age group. It’d be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid extra charges at the holiday home desk.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
