If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in Washington. Bear in mind that home companies will charge an extra fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when you collect the keys.

Generally, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules often differ between home providers, so it’s always a good idea to check before you book.

You can. Expedia partners with reputable suppliers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Washington — or far beyond!

Age policies are different between home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Found a Washington supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? That’s great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the details you need.

If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise 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 current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
