Where can I find a Dayton hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Dayton, check the policies of the hire companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the hire counter, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, 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, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. 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 a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
