How old do you have to be to rent a car in Pasadena?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Pasadena. Be aware that most home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren’t permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Pasadena?
Renting a car in Pasadena is simple. Normally, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Once you’ve found a great set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements prior to pickup.

Where can I find a Pasadena car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Pasadena holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It’s useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Pasadena with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
