How old do you have to be to rent a car in Del Mar?
Generally, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Del Mar. It's worth noting that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Del Mar?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.

You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Del Mar and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Del Mar car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Del Mar rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays 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!
