How old do you need to be to rent a car in Utah?

I want to visit all of the national parks in Utah. They’re pretty remote, so I’m going to fly to Salt Lake City and rent a car. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to rent a car because I’m only 21—in Utah, how old do you need to be to rent a car?

You only need to be 18 years old to rent a car in
Utah
. Since you’re 21, you shouldn’t have any issues renting a car.
However, the car rental company may apply a young driver surcharge to cover their perceived risk. They may also restrict what types of cars you can drive. Make sure to call ahead to get all the relevant details.
