Driving and Drink if having a holiday in the U.S? -

Ok, since im an Australian citizen, and im 18, its legal for me to drive or drink. Im planning a holiday to the U.S next year, what happens then? Am I allowed to hire a rental car or buy alcohol over there or what?

nope ur not aloud to rent a car or drink..have to be 21 to purchase alcohol and 25 to rent a car in the US. you can drive though

Allowed to by alcohol? Nope.Allowed to rent a car? Yes BUT the rental agencies are also allowed to not rent to you. Most will not rent to anyone under 21. Some will rent to drivers under 25 but charge a crazy extra daily fee. You can rent a car at 18 in New York but again, it is so expensive as to be prohibitive.

You can drive if u have a license and proper insurance coverage but you can t drink until you are 21... and rent a car until 25... depending on where you are you can sneak down to Mexico with your passport and drink and party lol

my son is 22 yrs old he rented a car but they will charge you extra money cause you are under 25 yrs old, you are not allowed to drink here un the US you have to be 21 to drink and to buy alcohol
