How old do you have to be to rent a car in El Cajon?
El Cajon requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual home rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Cajon?
Before you can take the wheel in El Cajon, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a home company.

Where can I find an El Cajon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some El Cajon providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in El Cajon with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. Please read the details before booking!
