The minimum age to rent a moving truck is generally between 18 and 25 years, depending on the rental company, location, and vehicle type. U-Haul and Penske generally allow customers who are at least 18 to rent personal moving trucks, while other companies may have higher age requirements.
Minimum Age Requirements
Age requirements may vary by rental location, vehicle type, state law, and company policy.
Do I Need a Special Driver’s License?
Usually not. Most consumer moving trucks can be driven with a standard, non-commercial driver’s license. A commercial driver’s license is generally not required for personal moving trucks.
However, some larger commercial vehicles may require a specific license class or a CDL. Penske, for example, offers both CDL and non-CDL commercial vehicles.
Before You Book
In addition to meeting the minimum age requirement, you will generally need:
- A valid physical driver’s license.
- An accepted payment method.
- Any additional identification required by the rental company.
- Authorized drivers who meet the company’s age and licensing requirements.
Always confirm the minimum age, payment, identification, and driver requirements with the pickup location before booking.
