Washington rules state drivers must be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions.

While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
