If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Downtown Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid 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. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
