What types of cars can I rent in Carmel Valley?
Busy city streets and narrow parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most in-demand rental type in Carmel Valley. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic easily.

Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

  • Santa Clara is about 97 kilometres from Carmel Valley. Well-known tourist attractions like California's Great America deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • Situated 161 kilometres away, Concord is also popular with travellers. Make time to experience Six Flags Hurricane Harbour Concord while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Carmel Valley?
Carmel Valley requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Carmel Valley?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in Carmel Valley?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$147. The second lowest price to rent a set of wheels in Carmel Valley was AU$165 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Carmel Valley?
Expedia makes it a cinch to find a long-term rental in Carmel Valley. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Carmel Valley car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Carmel Valley, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you do your research.
Can I drive in Carmel Valley with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might 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 required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to 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 most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot 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, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
