Some Gainesville companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Gainesville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
