How old do you have to be to hire a car in Ottawa?
Ottawa rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard car hire rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.

Where can I find an Ottawa hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Ottawa rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional costs. It's better to know this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Ottawa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for 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 for you to drive in the U.S, be aware 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 also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget 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 onto ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
