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.

What do you need to hire a car in Amherst?

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!
