Scoring the best deal on your Dayton hire car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers from popular brands.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Dayton?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can hire a car in Dayton. Take into account that most hire suppliers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers usually aren't permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Dayton?
Most hire companies will ask for these two things --- a valid driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.
What is the cheapest car hire in Dayton?

Where can I find a Dayton hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found a Dayton supplier that does hire to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Dayton with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off 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, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the details before booking!
