Where can I find an Austin hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a hire car in Austin, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the 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 at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get 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., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
