How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salt Lake City?
Salt Lake City requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Salt Lake City?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Salt Lake City has had some happy holiday home car drivers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were AU$81 and AU$90.

Where can I find a Salt Lake City car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Salt Lake City supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Salt Lake City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need 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 car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
