Where can I find a Metairie hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can hire a vehicle under the age of 25 in Metairie often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some places have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age range. It’d be wise to read the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape extra charges at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Metairie with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
