Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?

It's useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Amherst?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise choice for your upcoming Amherst adventure. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
