How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Placid?
Lake Placid rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Placid?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between home outlets, so it’s wise to check while booking.
What is the cheapest car rental in Lake Placid?
The lowest car rental price in Lake Placid within the past seven days was AU$113 per day. The second best deal snapped up by happy travellers was AU$122. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Lake Placid car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Lake Placid holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s useful to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Lake Placid with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
