Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.

Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Nelson car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Nelson supplier that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Nelson with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You 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 local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • 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 United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle.
