How old do you have to be to rent a car in John Day?
If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in John Day. Be mindful that most home suppliers will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are often restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in John Day?
Before you can hit the road in John Day, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you decline to take out the company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.

Where can I find a John Day car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in John Day often depends on the holiday home company you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. It’d be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home dealer to escape unnecessary costs on pickup.
Can I drive in John Day with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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 state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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 on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
