Where can I find a Fort Dodge car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Fort Dodge holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Fort Dodge with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go 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 typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
