Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a car in Columbia. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21 a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before locking in your ride. Companies also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.

Any home company you choose will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.

Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Columbia often depends on the home supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not have any extra fees for this age bracket. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape any surprise charges when picking up your keys.

If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required to get 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, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off 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 on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
