Some Papaikou companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Papaikou with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a 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 required, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your 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’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
