How old do you have to be to rent a car in Evanston?
Drivers aged 21 and over can road trip around Evanston in a home vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Evanston?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so it’s always a good idea to check while booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Evanston?
Yes, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Evanston and cruise away with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find an Evanston car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Evanston often depends on the home supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however other companies may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Evanston with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 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 the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home.
