What do you need to rent a car in Fairfax?

Some Fairfax outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Fairfax with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to organise 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
