Where can I rent a car for my driving test?
My parents typically use public transportation, but I’m trying to get my driver’s license. Where can I rent a car for my driving test?

Since traditional car rental agencies require a valid driver’s license to rent a vehicle, you’re left with two options to obtain a car for your driver’s test:
- Rent a vehicle from a driver training school
- Borrow a car from a friend or family member
Some driver training schools will offer you the option to rent a car from them even if you haven’t been taking lessons there. The school may even be able to send someone out to pick you up at home before the test, or you can meet them at the DMV.
The cost for renting a car from a driver training school will depend on:
- The type of vehicle
- How far you’re located from the school
- How the school sets its prices On average, it can cost anywhere between $20 and $400. You can also consider borrowing a car from a close friend or family member. The vehicle will need to be properly registered with your state and covered by insurance that meets your state’sminimum insurance requirements. Whatever car you use, make sure the following components are working:
- Brakes and brake lights
- Turn signals and lights
- Windshield wipers
- Seatbelts and supplemental restraint systems (airbags)
- Horn
- Tires with sufficient tread and pressure
- Mirrors (side and rear view)
- Speedometer To see if your state has any additional vehicle requirements, visit your DMV website.
