How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chinatown?
Chinatown rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Chinatown?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements may differ between home companies, so it’s a good idea to check before booking.

Where can I find a Chinatown car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Chinatown outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Chinatown with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. 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. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
