What do you need to rent a car in Basalt?
You’ll generally require a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between providers, so remember to check in advance.

Where can I find a Basalt car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Basalt, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Basalt with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
