What do you need to hire a car in Portsmouth?

Where can I find a Portsmouth hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Portsmouth often depends on the hire supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age group. It'd be good to read the terms and conditions of your prospective hire car dealer to escape excessive charges at the hire desk.
Can I drive in Portsmouth with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may 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 required, be aware that you'll also have 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 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'll need to be 25 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 additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
