Can I install an Ignition Interlock into a rental car?

Do you need to use a rental car during your Ignition Interlock program? Or are you planning an out-of-town vacation and need a temporary rental car?

Every state’s regulations are different when it comes to these questions about rental vehicles and needing to use an Ignition Interlock.

Ignition Interlocks and Rental Car Companies

Using a rental car while on an Ignition Interlock program will be difficult. You will need permission from the rental car company for our technicians to install the Device in their vehicle. In nearly all cases, however, rental car companies will not allow an Ignition Interlock to be installed in their vehicles. And if you have a restricted license, the rental car company may reject your request to rent one of their vehicles.

It may be difficult to get the sign-off on renting a car, but there are other options for you to pursue. Ask someone else to drive their car, or take a plane to your destination to avoid the hassle. Completing your Ignition Interlock program and following all court requirements is the fastest way to drive safely again with an unrestricted license.

Borrowing Another Person’s Vehicle

You can install your Ignition Interlock into someone else’s vehicle, but you’ll need written permission from the owner to do so. You can check with our Customer Care Center, and we will provide you the forms or paperwork that you need.

As always, you can call Smart Start’s Customer Care Center for any questions you may have during your Interlock program at 800-831-3299. We will be able to inform you of everything you need for your Ignition Interlock requirements.
