What types of cars can I rent in Rochester?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Rochester. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're perfect for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a whole lot of room. They're particularly suited to city driving. Zipping into tight parking spots will be a cinch!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rochester?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Rochester. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size.

What do you need to rent a car in Rochester?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.

Yes. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for many car categories. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Rochester — or beyond!
Where can I find a Rochester car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Rochester, we suggest reading the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
