How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sterling?
The minimum age to rent a car in Sterling is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some outlets will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules vary between providers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Sterling?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sterling?
You can, and the terrific news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Sterling and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Sterling car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Sterling. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
