How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mount Desert?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related restrictions you should know about before you reserve your Mount Desert wheels. If you’re a young motorist, many home outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Take a few moments to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Mount Desert?
Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements may differ between home companies, so it’s a good idea to read the fine print.

Where can I find a Mount Desert car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Mount Desert providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Mount Desert with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need 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 vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
