Where can I find a Washington hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Washington companies will hire to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Washington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle 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 must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. Please read the details before booking!
