How old do you have to be to rent a car in Newark?
At least 21. But there are some age-related restrictions to be aware of before booking your wheels in Newark. If you’re a young motorist, most home outlets will charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you’re able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Newark?
While rules can differ between rental car outlets in Newark, the essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.

Yes. We partner with quality suppliers that offer long-term holiday homes for many car classes. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Newark — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Newark car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Newark home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Newark with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get 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 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 rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
