Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Rochester, we suggest reading the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Rochester with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, 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 renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot 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 rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
