Rentals: say what exactly you’re looking for

Rentals in the United States: what things cost and what to check

Updated 1 November 2026

Approximately, according to rent reports and one car-rental company's fee table, an average US apartment rents for about $1,384 to $1,667 a month, and young renters pay $25 a day for a car in most states and $52 a day in New York and Michigan. Prices depend on what you rent, so describe the item, dates and city in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What you need to rent a car

A car rental needs a valid driver's license for the whole rental period and a valid credit or debit card for the deposit. The minimum age is 18 to 20 depending on the state, and a young renter fee applies on top. The Federal Trade Commission's consumer advice on renting a car says state, city and county taxes and fees are part of what to check, so ask for the full total before you sign.

Season: rentals follow the calendar

In the Northern Hemisphere, winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August. Ski and snowboard gear is a winter rental, while the boat, kayak and camping subcategories point to the warm months from June to August. November falls between those peaks, so book summer equipment in spring and winter gear in autumn.

Pickup, delivery and how to ask
