How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the rules are 21 years and over in Austin. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.

Question 8

What do you need to rent a car in Austin?

Accepted Answer

Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

The ability to rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Austin often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Austin?

Accepted Answer

A thorough insurance policy is a wise choice for your Austin adventure. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
