Where can I find an Athens hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Athens companies will hire cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Athens with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might 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 required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
