Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Atlanta with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle 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 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental.
