Where can I find an Elgin hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Elgin providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Elgin with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
