Can I hire a car from Hopkins Intl. Airport (CLE)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Amherst car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer your money back on many hires if you notify us six hours before picking up the car. Be sure to double-check your hire policy --- there are some instances where it's not included. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Amherst?
Mini cars, mid-size rides, premium SUVs... Pick up the keys to just about any kind of vehicle you like! Economy is the most in-demand rental vehicle category in Amherst. Small, with superb fuel-efficiency and easy to park, these wheels make driving around bustling city streets a dream. Maybe the best thing? They're easy on the wallet. That means you'll have more money to splash on other things, like seeing as much of this awesome destination as possible.
Where can I go on a road trip from Amherst?
Amherst is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Book a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Columbus is about 110 miles from Amherst. Famous attractions like Ohio State University deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • About 100 miles away, Ann Arbor is also a hit with travellers. Allow time to take in University of Michigan while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.
  • Make tracks to American Falls for a day out in nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Amherst, it's roughly 200 miles away.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Amherst with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your car type and compare offers from top providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Amherst car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Amherst?
In Amherst, the rule is usually 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the hire location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Remember to read the fine print before choosing your ride.
What do you need to hire a car in Amherst?
Before you can take the wheel in Amherst, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a hire provider.
What is the cheapest car hire in Amherst?
£45 and £47 were the lowest daily prices picked up by rental car customers in Amherst within the past seven days. 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 Amherst?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a hire car halfway through your holiday. Check out our long-term car hire deals page, enter your information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find an Amherst hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of shopping around. Found an Amherst supplier that does hire to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Amherst 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, 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 used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read the details before you book!
