How old do you have to be to rent a car in Champaign?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Champaign. Be aware that home suppliers will charge an extra fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren’t permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Check the fine print before booking to avoid any surprises when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Champaign?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between home suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Champaign?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Champaign, so go ahead and extend your hard-earned holiday! Just enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Champaign car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Champaign outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Champaign 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 renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle 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’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 local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
