How old do you have to be to hire a car in Gainesville?
If you’re 21 and above, you can hire a car in Gainesville. Keep in mind that rental outlets will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Read through the fine print before you book so there are no hassles during pick-up.
What do you need to hire a car in Gainesville?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental suppliers, so it’s always wise to read the fine print.

Where can I find a Gainesville hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Gainesville companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Gainesville with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., 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 must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired cars 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 state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave 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 Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
