How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lincoln?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Lincoln. You should be aware that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge.

What do you need to rent a car in Lincoln?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between providers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Lincoln car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Lincoln supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
