How old do you have to be to rent a car in Altoona?
In Altoona, the rule is 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Remember to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Altoona?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Altoona, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you choose not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What is the cheapest car rental in Altoona?

Where can I find an Altoona car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Altoona often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not have any additional fees for this age range. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to avoid excessive charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Altoona?
A thorough insurance plan is a good choice for your Altoona vacation. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
