If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in La Costa with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms 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 confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
