If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a car in Austin. Be aware that most home suppliers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Carefully read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when you pick up the keys.

Most of the time, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules may differ between home outlets, so be sure to check before booking.

Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find an Austin supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering should have all the details you need.

If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise 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 required, be aware 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 needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional 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 U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
