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

Many home suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Rochester?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies located in Rochester. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Rochester with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the 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 United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
