Where can I find an Ottawa hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Ottawa rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25, some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each car hire company has its own policies for young drivers, so 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, 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
