What do you need to rent a car in Guam?
Renting a car in Guam is quite convenient, but there can be some specific requirements, especially for foreign renters.
- Form of ID: A valid physical Northern Mariana Islands national photo ID is required.
- Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical local driving licence with no major endorsements. In most cases, the licence must have been held for at least 1 year; for some vehicle groups it may need to be held for up to 5 years. For certain rentals, the minimum required holding period (between 1–2 years or as specified) is defined in the full rental terms and may vary by car category.
Notes: For some car types, a minimum licence holding period of 1–2 years is required; for others, at least 5 years. Where not explicitly stated, please refer to the Full Rental Terms & Conditions – driving licence section or contact customer service for the exact minimum holding time applicable to your vehicle category.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required. Accepted credit cards commonly include Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Diners Club, AMEX and, for some offers, UnionPay. Some locations also accept debit cards (usually Visa or MasterCard) for payment and/or deposit; others only allow credit cards. Card embossing may be required for certain deals. E‑vouchers or printed vouchers may be required for some rentals. Availability of specific card brands (including UnionPay) and whether debit cards are accepted can vary by offer; check your specific deal details.
- Age requirements: Standard eligible driving ages across offers range from a minimum of 18–22 years up to a maximum of 75–99 years, depending on the specific rental. Typical common ranges include 21–80 or 21–99. Where a young driver fee applies, an example policy is: drivers aged 18–21 may rent but must pay a young driver surcharge of about $6.00 per day (plus applicable tax). Some offers also indicate that young drivers (e.g., 21–24) or senior drivers (e.g., 75–80) are permitted, but any applicable surcharges or conditions are stated as “to be confirmed” and should be checked in the specific rental terms.
- Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical driving licence with no major endorsements. In most cases, the licence must have been held for at least 1 year; for some vehicle groups it may need to be held for up to 5 years. For certain rentals, the minimum required holding period (between 1–2 years or as specified) is defined in the full rental terms and may vary by car category. Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) (the IDP is only a translation; you must also present your original licence; photocopies or scans are not accepted) or
• Original South Korea Driving License (English version) with an English translation provided on the back.Notes: Where the exact minimum licence holding period is not clearly stated, please refer to the Full Rental Terms & Conditions – driving licence section or contact customer service for the precise requirement applicable to your vehicle category.
- Form of ID: A valid passport is required.
- Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required.

Popular Driving Routes & Trips From Guam (and Nearby CNMI)
Scenic Route Options:
Popular Short Trips (Half-Day to Full-Day):

Southern Highlights Day Trip (Inarajan + Umatac)
A full-day drive to Guam’s scenic south for natural pools, historic bays, and cliff overlooks. Pack water shoes and plan around midday heat if you’ll be outside for long stretches.

Car Rental Planning Tips for Guam & the Northern Marianas
Bring the right documents: Carry your valid driver’s license and passport/ID. Some agencies may request an International Driving Permit if your license isn’t in English—confirm before arrival.
Plan for slower south-island roads: Northern Guam driving is generally straightforward, while the south can be curvier with narrower shoulders. Build buffer time for photo stops and rain.
Fuel up before long southern legs: Gas stations are easiest to find around Tamuning/Tumon, Dededo, and along Marine Corps Drive. Top off before heading deep into the south so you’re not searching later.
Choose insurance based on your itinerary: If you plan to visit remote overlooks or drive at night, consider CDW/LDW and glass/tire coverage. Review deductibles and excluded areas (if any) in the contract.
Download offline maps and save key pins: Cell coverage is generally good in populated areas, but offline maps help with trailheads, overlooks, and smaller village roads. Save your hotel, gas stations, and backup routes.
Pack for sun, rain, and beach parking: Keep reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, water, and a light rain jacket in the car. A small trash bag and a change of clothes make beach-hopping more comfortable.
Avoid peak congestion near Tumon: Traffic can build around Tumon/Tamuning during commute hours and dinner time. Start early for island loops and return before sunset if you want easier parking.
Drive cautiously at night: Watch for reduced lighting outside the main tourist areas and be alert for pedestrians, sudden stops, and wet pavement after tropical showers.
