How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cincinnati?
You’ll need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a home vehicle in Cincinnati. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Many providers will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Cincinnati?
Generally, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home providers, so it’s always wise to read the fine print.

Based on prices within the past seven days, you could’ve taken the wheel of your own holiday home car for just AU$176 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in Cincinnati was AU$181.

Where can I find a Cincinnati car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Cincinnati holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It’s better to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Cincinnati with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
