Some Downtown San Mateo companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Downtown San Mateo with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
