Car Hire For New Drivers In North America

At Indigo Car Hire we have been working on expanding our options available for new drivers, and finally we are happy to announce that we are now able to offer car hire in North America to drivers that have held their licence for less than one year! We’ve put together this handy FAQ below to answer any questions you might have about USA Car Rental & Canada Car Hire:

what Restrictions Are In Place For New Drivers?

The only restrictions in place are that you must be at least 21 years old and must have received your physical licence – so even if you got it the day before you hire this wouldn’t be a problem at all! This applies to any licence written in English or EU licences, otherwise you would just need bring an international driving permit also.

what Locations Am I Available To Hire From?

We have locations at all the major airports on the 49 mainland states as well as most Canadian provinces. We also have a few downtown locations as well, just contact us directly if looking for a specific city as it would be impossible to list them all!

are There Any Limitations In Place On The Size Of Car I Can Drive?

Not at all – you can hire any car that an experienced driver can, including luxury Mustang convertibles and large 15-seat minibuses. Here’s a handy guide on the types of vehicles we have available to rent in the US and Canada:
