Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name.

Where can I find a Downtown Bakersfield car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Downtown Bakersfield supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Downtown Bakersfield with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot 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, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental.
