Age policies differ between hire suppliers, so you'll have to do a little research. Found a Gainesville supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Gainesville with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. 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 forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
