Where can I find an Ames hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Ames, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car hire companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unwanted surprises on pick-up, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Ames with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring 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 hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the details before you book!
