What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Albany?

You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Downtown Albany holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 some companies will charge extra costs. It’s handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Downtown Albany with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware 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 vehicle must 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 to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
