Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.

Any hire company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Bethesda hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Bethesda companies will hire cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Bethesda with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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 rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the details before you book!
