Where can I find a Brisbane car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Brisbane holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 be aware that some will charge additional costs. It’s good to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Brisbane with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the details before booking!
