Where can I find a Washington hire car if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Washington hire suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25, some companies will charge additional costs. It’s useful to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. 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 current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order 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 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 slide 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 off-road areas with your hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
