How old do you have to be to hire a car in Austin?
In Austin, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the hire location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It's always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to hire a car in Austin?
Most rental companies will require two things --- your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Where can I find an Austin hire car if I am younger than 25?
Hiring a vehicle under the age of 25 in Austin often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not have any additional costs for this age range. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred hire company to avoid extra costs at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then 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, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form 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. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
