How old do you have to be to rent a car in Escondido?
Drivers aged 21 and above can go road-tripping around Escondido in a home vehicle. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Escondido?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find an Escondido car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Escondido often depends on the holiday home company you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age range. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home dealer to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Escondido with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
