Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to hire a car in Austin?
Before you can road trip around Austin, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name.

Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.

Where can I find an Austin hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Austin companies will hire to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
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 may need to organise 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., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle 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 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 your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
