Can I rent a car if I am an international traveler?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, international travelers can rent a car with National Car Rental, but there are certain requirements that must be met. Renters typically need to present a valid driver's license from their home country, and it is advisable to also have an International Driving Permit, especially if the original license is not in English. This is important as it can help facilitate communication and ensure understanding of driving regulations. In addition to the driver's license requirements, international travelers must also provide a valid passport as a form of identification. Credit cards are usually required for payment and must be in the name of the person renting the vehicle. National Car Rental may have age requirements, and while the minimum age to rent varies by location, many places require drivers to be at least twenty-one years old. Drivers under the age of twenty-five may be subject to additional fees. It is also worth noting that insurance coverage is essential when renting a car. International travelers should check with their credit card companies or personal insurance providers to see if coverage extends to rental vehicles. Those who do not have sufficient coverage may want to consider purchasing additional insurance offered by National Car Rental at the time of rental.
