How old do you have to be to rent a car in Del Mar?
Rental car rules in Del Mar require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most home providers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Del Mar?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional.

Where can I find a Del Mar car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Del Mar holiday home providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Del Mar with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from 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, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's 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 or older 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 travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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 typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
