Can you travel alone at age 18?

Answer 1

In general, a child has the same right to travel as an adult, subject to parental supervision. Many states, counties and municipalities have curfews that prohibit persons under the age of 16 or 18 from being out and about at night, but those laws are of doubtful constitutionality. Minors have traditionally been allowed to engage in jobs like baby-sitting or delivering papers that required them to work late at night or early in the morning. Other legitimate activities, such as competitive sports, may keep minors out past curfew deadlines. Curfew laws infringe on the right to engage in such lawful activities and have been held unconstitutional.

Despite the "right" to engage in travel, minors may find it difficult or impossible to go on long trips alone. First of all, airlines, bus companies, and other transportation vendors may require minors to be accompanied by an adult, or at least b accompanied to the departure point and met on arrival by a parent or other responsible adult. Also, minors would not be allowed to register at a hotel without adult supervision.

Aside from the practical problems a minor would face in traveling alone, there is also the Mann Act. That is a federal law that makes it illegal to assist a minor to cross a state line for prostitution or illegal sexual activity. Anyone who crosses a state line with an unrelated minor could be in deep federal do-do.
