- If you plan on driving in Kentucky with a small child, it is critical that you are familiar with the car seat laws for the state. Any child that is under the age of eight years old and between 40 and 57 inches in height must be in a federally approved booster seat. If a child is less than 40 inches tall, they are required to be in a proper car seat that matches their height and weight. When a child is less than 20 pounds, they should always be in a rear-facing car seat.
- The state of Kentucky is neighbored by numerous states, including Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, and Illinois. If you would like to embark on a road trip to one of these states, it is important to note that most companies will allow you to do so, even without paying for additional insurance. However, you may still be required to return your rental vehicle in Kentucky.
- If you are considering renting an electric vehicle, it is important to note that many of the electric car charging stations in Kentucky are placed in urban areas. For example, you can find numerous public charging stations in cities such as Louisville and Lexington. However, this may not be the best choice for you if you will primarily be staying in a rural area, as you may not have many charging options.

Car rental FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Kentucky, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 12月 23, 2024.
Should I rent a car in Kentucky?
Having access to your own vehicle when exploring Kentucky is a must. You will find a bit of public transportation in some larger cities, like Louisville and Lexington, but the systems are typically not robust or dependable. Kentucky is also known for having a few different road trip routes that are scenic and interesting, such as the Natural Wonders Road Trip and the Country Music Highway. You will naturally need a rental car to embark on these.
What is driving like in Kentucky?
In general, Kentucky is quite easy to drive in. The roads are known for being well paved and taken care of, so you will rarely need to worry about things like potholes. In some more rural parts of the state, smaller roads may not be very well lit at night. Major cities like Lexington and Louisville do have a bit of congestion, so try to avoid driving in these regions during rush hour. When you are driving in the countryside, you will also want to keep your eyes open for any animals crossing the road, including deer. Kentucky has a few different toll roads that you will likely come across during your driving, such as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge. The state uses an electronic-tolling system, meaning that paying is always hands-free. You will want to check with the company that you will be renting with to see if your toll fees will be added to your rental invoice, or if they are included directly in the rental price.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kentucky?
The state of Kentucky requires drivers to be at least 21 years old to rent a car. Most companies will charge you an additional fee for each day of your rental if you are below the age of 25 years old. In addition to this age requirement, you are also obligated to have had your license for at least one year before you rent a vehicle for the first time. Your license cannot have any infractions or limitations, or you will not be allowed to rent a car. Many companies will also ask for you to pay for your rental with a major credit card.
