How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cottonwood?

Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Don’t forget to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Cottonwood?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between home outlets, so it’s always wise to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Cottonwood car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Cottonwood outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Cottonwood with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. 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. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the details before you book!
