How old do you have to be to rent a car in Encinitas?
Encinitas requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Encinitas?
The essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.
What is the cheapest car rental in Encinitas?
Encinitas has no doubt had some very happy car renters lately. Daily rates within the past seven days were as low as AU$71 and AU$76. 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 Encinitas?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we'll list fabulous options from a range of leading companies.
Where can I find an Encinitas car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Encinitas, we suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Encinitas with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 valid 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. 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 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 the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
