Where can I find an Elgin hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Elgin, it’d be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various car hire companies you’re interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unwanted surprises at the hire desk, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Elgin with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for 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 for you to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
