Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.

Where can I find an Austin hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies operating in Austin. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
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 in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
