Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Ankeny?
Any home company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find an Ankeny car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Found an Ankeny outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Ankeny with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have 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. 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 ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order 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 you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
