How old do you have to be to rent a car in Washington?
Usually, you need to be 21 years and over in Washington. It’s important to note that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
Generally, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between home providers, so it’s always a good idea to check before booking.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Washington home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It’s best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
