What do you need to rent a car in Ames?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I drive in Ames with my U.S. Driver's license?
Many places overseas require an International Driving Permit to drive legally, so arrange one if you plan to get behind the wheel in Ames. This permit must be used in conjunction with your current U.S. License. We highly recommend obtaining this document before you leave the U.S.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ames?
Whether you plan to stop in Ames or explore beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Ames car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking to rent a car in Ames, you’ll need to check the policies of the rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
