Where can I find an Ocean City car rental if I am younger than 25?

Can I drive in Ocean City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the details before you book!
