You could go for the economy car rental option to minimize travel costs or go big by renting a luxury car rental. An electric car rental will offer even more convenience. If you are more than five, then you might want to consider renting a passenger van rental for more room. There is affordable parking available all over the city, so you do not have to worry about where to park your vehicle. State College is also walkable and bikeable because it is safe, and there are many trails and sidewalks to facilitate that. However, if you want to reach attractions that are a 1–2-hour drive away from the city, you need to rent a car. The attractions that can be found in surrounding areas include Nature Inn at Bald Eagle, Tussey Mountain, Penn’s Cave, and The State Theatre, where you can ski, watch theater and dance performances, and bird watching.

Driving laws in Pennsylvania are similar to other states in the U.S. Violating Pennsylvania speed limits results in hefty penalties.

Different car rentals in State College have a similar policy on who is eligible to get car rentals in State College, so make sure you check with the specific company. What usually differs is the age at which you can get rental cars in State College. You need to have a valid driver’s license to get a cheap car rental in State College and drive around the city. If your driver’s license is printed in any other language that is not English, then you need to get an international driving permit in addition to your valid driver’s license. Also, remember to have your driving license on you while driving around the town, as traffic police could ask you to produce it as a routine patrol.
