Can I rent a car from Hopkins Intl. Airport (CLE)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Amherst car reservation?
Don’t stress. You should be given a full refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so it’s a good idea to check the car’s cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Amherst?
Most visitors choose to rent economy cars in Amherst. Motorists love them because they’re good on gas and affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amherst?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Amherst is 21. A surcharge for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of cars available to young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Requirements may differ between providers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Before you can take the wheel in Amherst, you’ll need a 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 show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home provider.

Amherst has no doubt had some very happy car renters lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as AU$116 and AU$118.

Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home companies, so be prepared to do some research. Found an Amherst supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for 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., know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
