Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Austin rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's best to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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 rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
