To rent a car from one of the LaGuardia Airport car hire companies you will need to meet the minimum age requirements, which at this location, are very low. Persons just eighteen years of age or older can hire a car. However, there are different rental charges for persons aged 18 to 21 and 21 to 24. An additional fee is applicable for young driver insurance for all who are under the age of 25, but this amount is higher for those who are younger than 21. Young drivers are also restricted from selecting certain vehicle categories, usually those which contain larger or specialty cars. All primary renters will need to show Europcar a valid driving license, preferably one that has been issued in the United States of America, or one that is Canadian-endorsed. Foreign drivers may need to supply additional documentation, for example, a passport and/or a return airline ticket. From certain countries, an International Driving Permit will be required.

Before the vehicle leaves LaGuardia Airport, it will be checked for existing damages. Any found should be noted, as you do not wish to be held responsible for scratches, dents or other kinds of faults that you did not cause. Upon the vehicle’s return, it will be checked again. Customers are advised to also have a look over their vehicle. All vehicles hired start the rental period with a full tank of fuel, and may be returned ‘as empty as possible’ if fuel was purchased. If no fuel was purchased, the vehicle should be returned with a full tank. In some cases, the car hire companies may allow you to return the vehicle empty even if no fuel was purchased. The company then re-fuels the vehicle on your behalf for additional charges. This option is only ideal for persons who have limited time to stop at fuel stations. Vehicles should be returned to LaGuardia Airport, unless a Europcar one way hire is arranged, allowing it to be delivered elsewhere. From La Guardia Airport, one way hire services may have additional charges, but are useful for certain travel itineraries.
