How old do you have to be to rent a car in Universal?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Universal. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21 you can expect additional fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking. There are also restrictions on the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Universal?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between home companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Universal?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your perfect set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we’ll list amazing options from a range of trustworthy companies.
Where can I find an Universal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Universal providers will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Universal with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need 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 for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
