If you're a young driver looking for a car rental in Wausau, check the policies of the various holiday home companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25  some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Wausau with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your 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 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 regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car.
