How much is a rental car per day in Amherst?
Daily rental prices were as low as $86 within the past seven days. With rates like this, zipping around the streets of Amherst in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to see the sights.
What happens if I need to cancel my Amherst car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before picking up the car, most bookings offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental agreement. Look over your booking for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
Where can I go on a road trip from Amherst?
Amherst is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider area. Here are some places to consider:

  • Head off to Lubbock for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 45 miles from Amherst, it's home to lots of amazing sights, including Buddy Holly Center.
  • Situated 90 miles away, Amarillo is also popular with wanderers. Make sure you take in Palo Duro Canyon while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this city.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Amherst with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and rental companies, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Amherst car rental with hotel or flight bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amherst?
Drivers with a valid license 21 and over can rent a car in Amherst. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking. Companies also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Amherst?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Amherst?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $86 per day. The second lowest daily price in Amherst was $87. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Amherst?
Yes, and the awesome news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Amherst and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find an Amherst car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Amherst rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Amherst?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise choice for your upcoming Amherst adventure. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
