It's still good to read the cancellation policy though because there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, head to our Customer Service Portal.

Exploring El Centro will be easy and fun in an intermediate.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in El Centro?
El Centro requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Centro?
Before you can hit the road in El Centro, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What is the cheapest car rental in El Centro?
The lowest price for a rental car in El Centro within the past seven days was just AU$118 per day. The next best deal on offer was AU$124. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in El Centro?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you fabulous options from a range of trustworthy companies.
Where can I find an El Centro car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in El Centro often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, however others may not have any extra costs for this age group. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in El Centro with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for 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 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, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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 must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
