How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hempstead?
Hempstead rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Hempstead?
Any rental company you select will require two things --- a current driver's licence and credit card.

Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
