Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find a Chatham outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Chatham with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
