Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Austin rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's good to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off 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 traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
