How old do you have to be to rent a car in Richmond?

There could also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Richmond?
The main requirements are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Richmond car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that operate in Richmond. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Richmond with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you 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, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle.
