Question 12

Where can I find a Downey car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look into the age policy of the Downey rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's ideal to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.

Question 13

Can I drive in Downey with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before you book!
