How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Dubuque?
Downtown Dubuque requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Dubuque?

Where can I find a Downtown Dubuque car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that are found in Downtown Dubuque. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Downtown Dubuque with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 identification. 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states 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 company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
