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 suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Amherst?
After perfectly planning your road trip, don't scrimp on safety — choose collision protection while reserving your Amherst rental car with Expedia. There are many benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Amherst with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Canada, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
