Where can I find a Knoxville hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Knoxville, it’d be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Knoxville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. 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, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and 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 drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
