How old do you have to be to hire a car in Altoona?
If you're 21 and over, you can hire a car in Altoona. Take into account that most hire suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Browse the fine print before booking to avoid any surprises when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to hire a car in Altoona?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things --- a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What is the cheapest car hire in Altoona?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car hire in Altoona was just £58. The next lowest price was £59 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Altoona?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a hire car in the middle of your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Altoona hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can hire a vehicle under the age of 25 in Altoona often depends on the hire supplier you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but other companies may not have any additional costs for this age range. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective hire car dealer to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in Altoona with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to get 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., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
