You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance.

What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home car companies located in Amherst. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 be aware that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s 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 allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
