Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before making your reservation. Providers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your home agency to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are found in Washington. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 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 match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
