Where can I find a Columbia car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies located in Columbia. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
Can I drive in Columbia with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older 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 with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
