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

What do you need to rent a car in State College?

This depends on the holiday home companies that are in State College. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
Can I drive in State College with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card 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 rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car.
