Drivers, driving record, and age requirements
What is the minimum age for renting a car on Hotwire?
To book a car at a Hotwire Hot Rate or to make a regular-rate reservation, drivers must be at least 25 years of age. The driver's age will be verified at the rental counter. Any drivers added to the rental contract (for an additional fee) must be at least 25 years of age with a valid driver's license and a credit card in their name.
