How old do you have to be to hire a car in Austin?

There could also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some providers will only hire out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?

Whether you plan to stay in Austin or journey beyond, you can book a long-term hire with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find excellent long-term car hire deals.
Where can I find an Austin hire car if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that are found in Austin. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your hire car.
Can I drive in Austin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to 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'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
