How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Placid?
Lake Placid requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter home conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Placid?
Renting a car in Lake Placid is a breeze. Normally, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. After settling on your ride, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lake Placid?
Expedia makes it a snap to pick up a quality long-term holiday home in Lake Placid. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and explore your possibilities.
Where can I find a Lake Placid car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little research. Found a Lake Placid supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Lake Placid with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • 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, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
