Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Monterey supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great!

Can I drive in Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your 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 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel 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 traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
