Your cancellation policy should include all the specifics you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.

Where can I go on a road trip from Tahoe?
Tahoe is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Head off to Missoula for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 161 kilometres from Tahoe, it's home to loads of cool attractions such as Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
  • Around 137 kilometres away, Joseph is also a hit with travellers. Set aside time to get to Wallowa Lake while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this colourful city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tahoe?
You have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements to keep in mind before booking your wheels in Tahoe. If you're a younger driver, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you're able to rent. The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, differs between companies. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Tahoe?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Tahoe, the two things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Tahoe?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and lock in a ride that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Tahoe car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Tahoe rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
