Requirements may differ between providers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Riverhead?

Where can I find a Riverhead car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in Riverhead, you’ll need to check the terms and conditions of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Riverhead with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to 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’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
