How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ballard?
Rental car rules in Ballard require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many home companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Ballard?
Renting a car in Ballard is a breeze. Usually, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. After you’ve found your favourite set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to pickup.

Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and reserve a ride that’s all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Ballard car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Ballard often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to avoid any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Ballard with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
