Where can I find a Rome car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Rome with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was 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 rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car.
