![]() ![]() ![]() My daughter’s instructor, as well as her friend’s instructor, both said it is legal to drive 5 miles over or 5 miles under the speed limit on any expressway. But this one I wanted to check on and didn’t find any solid yes or no in the DMV handbook. I usually assume the driving instructor knows more than I do since it’s their job to stay on top of all the rules. Q: I know you get a lot of questions from parents with teens learning to drive and I have one more. They may drive siblings to school, for example, but a note is recommended. Permittees are responsible for obtaining current restrictions. During the first 12 months after getting a license, they cannot drive other teens unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, a licensed driver age 25 or older, or a licensed or certified driving instructor. Minors under 18 are issued a provisional license. The holder is permitted to drive unsupervised for farm-related purposes but is still subject to all other special instruction permit restrictions. The teen must complete all special permit requirements, including six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. You may find also that some rental car categories are not available to young drivers, such as Mustang rentals and some SUV rentals.A: You are right your friend is wrong. A farm permit may be available to teens who are at least 16 years old. In general, the minimum age to rent a car in the USA is 21 and will most likely incur a young driver fee, however here at Rhino we offer an under 25 car hire discount scheme to help your younger customers enjoy renting a car. Whilst young drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in an accident, with some researchers claiming that a teenager is not mature enough to drive a car, some car rental agents will allow 18 years olds to rent a car. Regardless of the minimum age to obtain a license and drive in the USA, if you plan to rent a car, the minimum age is determined by the rental agent rather than by the state. Similarly, the restricted license comes with limitations, again set by state that include passenger restrictions, mobile phone restrictions and night driving curfews.Ĭar Rental Age by State – Minimum Age to Rent a Car In most states a learner’s license requires a suitably qualified adult to accompany the young driver at all times. Better still, learner’s licenses are issued at 14 in North and South Dakota! Of course, there are various restrictions on a learner’s license and indeed on a restricted license, including maximum speeds ( state speed limits). Idaho, Montana and North Dakota for example, match El Salvador and issue restricted licenses to 15 year olds, whilst in New Mexico you can get your hands on a license from 15 years and 6 months. South Dakota is the most relaxed state when it comes to issuing restricted licenses to teenagers, at just 14 years and 6 months you can begin your journey to a full license that can be obtained by just 16. ![]()
