A step up from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room while still getting a wonderful deal.

Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a rental in Amherst, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Amherst?
After perfectly planning your big trip, don’t scrimp on safety — add collision protection while reserving your Amherst rental vehicle with Expedia.
