  • Chicago is around 35 miles from Manhattan. Well-known tourist spots like Wrigley Field deserve a place on your must-see list while you're in town.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Manhattan with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Manhattan?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can hire a car in Manhattan. Take note that most rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any problems at pick-up.
What do you need to hire a car in Manhattan?
Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pick-up date, check with your rental supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Manhattan?
£69 and £70 were the cheapest daily prices for car rentals in Manhattan within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Manhattan?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect wheels on our long-term car hire deals page. Just enter your trip details and we'll list excellent options from a range of trusted providers.
Where can I find a Manhattan hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Manhattan. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Manhattan with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
