Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 in Columbia often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It’d be good to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Columbia with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 need to be 25 or older 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 company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
