A compact car has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?

Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Dawson. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees.

Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Dawson?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
