The term young renter refers to drivers aged between 18 and 24, depending on each rental company’s policy. Each company may set its own minimum age to rent a vehicle and specific conditions for this profile.
Is there an extra fee for young renters?
Yes. Some rental companies charge a Young Driver Fee, applied per rental day. This fee covers the additional risk associated with less experienced drivers.
How can I include the Young Driver Fee in my booking?
During the booking process, some rental companies display the Young Driver Fee directly on their website or app as an optional service.
When this option is available, you can view the amount before completing your booking and include the fee at that time, ensuring full transparency in the final price.
If the option is not available on the website or app, you will need to contact the rental company directly to confirm availability and pricing. Please note that this payment must be made at the rental counter.
In the images below, we show where the Young Driver option appears during the booking process, on the website and in the app.

How does car rental work for young drivers?
The rules for young drivers may vary depending on the country and the rental company. In some destinations, the minimum age to rent a car may be higher, and the young driver fees may differ from those applied in Brazil.
Before completing your international booking, check:
The minimum age required in the country where the vehicle will be picked up;
The amount of the young driver fee, if applicable;
The required documents, such as a driver’s license issued longer ago or an International Driving Permit (IDP).
Can I include an additional young driver in the booking?
Yes, it is possible to include another driver, as long as they also meet the minimum age requirements and hold a valid driver’s license. However, the young driver fee may also apply to the additional driver, depending on the rental company’s policy.
Can young drivers rent any type of car?
Not always. Some rental companies restrict premium, sports, or SUV categories for young drivers. Available options vary by country and company, so we recommend checking the eligible categories before booking.
