How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gainesville?

What do you need to rent a car in Gainesville?

Where can I find a Gainesville car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies located in Gainesville. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home car.
Can I drive in Gainesville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required 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., know that you’ll also have to show your current 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 finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental 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 slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
