To hire a car, you need a valid driver's license, a credit or debit card, and proof of identity. Some companies may also require a minimum age or driving experience.

Most car rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Some vehicles may require a minimum age of 25, and young driver fees may apply.

Yes, you can book a car for someone else, but the driver must meet all rental requirements and be listed as an authorized driver on the rental agreement.

Compare prices across multiple rental companies, book in advance, and look for discounts or promo codes. Avoid airport locations for better rates and choose flexible pickup/drop-off times.

Consider car size, fuel efficiency, luggage space, transmission type, and insurance options. Also check rental company reviews and policies for extra fees.
