How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rochester?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Rochester. Be aware that rental companies will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking so there are no hassles during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Rochester?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Rochester rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's good to know this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
