Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in East Alton?

Where can I find an East Alton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the East Alton holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 some will charge extra costs. It’s better to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in East Alton with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
