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

What happens if I need to cancel my Amherst car reservation?
We get that plans change unexpectedly. That's why the majority of reservations allow for a refund if you cancel six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Your rental agreement should contain all the details you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
Where can I go on a road trip from Amherst?
Amherst is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • You'll discover Ohio Stadium and many more intriguing sights in Columbus. From Amherst, it's roughly 177 kilometres away.
  • Your next stop? Akron, which is around 72 kilometres away. Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Make your way to American Falls to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Amherst, it's 322 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Amherst with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from top brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Amherst car rental with hotel or flight bookings and hit the road with even more savings.
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? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many rental suppliers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What is the cheapest car rental in Amherst?
The two cheapest daily prices offered in Amherst within the past seven days were AU$85 and AU$86. How's that for an awesome deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Amherst?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find an Amherst outlet that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information 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!
